• Manage permissions and access controls across cloud-based and on-premise file storage platforms; conduct periodic access reviews and ensure storage configurations align with organizational standards.
• Administer the enterprise virtualization platform: provision, configure, and maintain virtual machines; manage host resources, clustering, and capacity planning.
• Manage enterprise storage infrastructure including SAN, NAS, and cloud storage platforms; monitor capacity, performance, and health; plan and execute storage expansions and migrations.
• Maintain accurate inventory of all physical servers, virtual machines, and storage assets; ensure documentation reflects current state.
• Manage the enterprise server patching program: maintain a consistent monthly patching cadence, track compliance across all servers, and report patching status to leadership.
• Collaborate with the security team to define, implement, and validate server hardening baselines aligned to applicable security frameworks and compliance requirements (including CMMC where relevant); own implementation on the server side.
• Assist with gathering and organizing server and system data for audit and compliance purposes; ensure documentation is accurate and readily available.
• Own enterprise backup operations: configure, monitor, and maintain backup jobs across server and application infrastructure; ensure all critical systems are covered and backup jobs are completing successfully.
• Conduct periodic restore tests across servers, applications, and file systems; document results and remediate any gaps in recoverability.
• Own the disaster recovery infrastructure for server systems: maintain replication, manage the DR environment, and ensure failover capability is validated and current.
• Develop, maintain, and test disaster recovery plans for server and application systems; coordinate DR exercises with relevant teams and document outcomes.
• Assess server infrastructure at acquired companies: inventory existing servers, applications, storage, and services; document findings and develop a standardization plan.
• Lead server-side integration of acquired company infrastructure into CPI standards: migrate workloads, decommission redundant systems, and ensure acquired environments meet baseline configuration and security requirements.
• Collaborate with the network and security teams on infrastructure projects, hardening initiatives, and cross-functional troubleshooting.
• Contribute to the annual infrastructure roadmap; identify aging systems, capacity constraints, and technology gaps; make recommendations for remediation.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation for all server systems, configurations, and processes; keep runbooks and architecture documentation current.
• Willingness to travel to branch and acquisition sites when necessary (multi-state).

Descripción del empleo

A mid-level systems professional with solid experience managing Windows Server environments, virtualization platforms, and enterprise storage. Comfortable working independently on day-to-day server administration while also taking ownership of larger initiatives like DR infrastructure, patching programs, and acquisition integrations. Works closely with the security team on hardening and compliance rather than waiting for direction. The right person keeps infrastructure running reliably, documents what they build, and approaches backup and recovery with the mindset that a restore they have never tested is a restore they cannot count on.

Who We Are

Construction Partners, Inc. is one of the fastest-growing civil infrastructure companies in the United States, specializing in the construction and maintenance of roadways across five southeastern states.

Our senior management team has successfully acquired and integrated approximately 60 companies over the course of their decades-long careers. Every acquisition adds servers, applications, storage, and infrastructure that needs to be assessed, standardized, and brought into the fold.
