IT Systems Administrator

• Equipment Deployment & Scalability. Plan and execute new equipment setup, technology onboarding for new hires, and infrastructure expansion to support company growth without disruption.
• Shop IT Support. Ensure all shop-floor technology, equipment, and systems - TVs, iPads, scanners, production-connected devices - are fully operational and supported so the floor never waits on technology.
• MiTek System Performance. Own all MiTek technical issues, changes, and optimizations. Become our in-house expert so production runs smoothly and we’re not calling MiTek’s support line for every adjustment. (Configuration and administration - no behind-the-scenes coding required.)
• Technology Innovation & Improvement. Research, propose, and implement company-wide technology improvements that increase efficiency, reduce costs, or enhance capability. You’re not just keeping the lights on - you’re making things better.
• Technology Infrastructure. Own and maintain reliable phone systems, network infrastructure, and core technology platforms to ensure zero unplanned downtime across the office and shop.

Do you have experience in Windows?, * 3+ years of hands-on IT experience (sysadmin, IT generalist, or similar - bonus if it was at a manufacturer or other shop-and-office hybrid environment)

• Strong network fundamentals: switches, firewalls, VLANs, Wi-Fi, basic troubleshooting
• Comfort with Windows environments, Microsoft 365, and end-user device management
• Practical problem-solver - able to work independently, prioritize, and decide what’s worth doing now vs. later
• Solid communication skills - most of our team isn’t technical, and you’ll need to translate

Nice to have

• Any experience with MiTek SAPPHIRE, MBA, or other truss/construction software (not required - we’ll teach you)
• Background supporting a manufacturing or construction-adjacent business
• Familiarity with VoIP phone systems
• Any cybersecurity, networking, or Microsoft certifications

Build our IT function from the ground up

NHC Components is a growing truss and column manufacturer with a 45-person team across production, logistics, finance, sales, and design. We’ve reached the size where IT can no longer be a side responsibility - it needs an owner. That’s where you come in.

This is our first dedicated IT hire. You won’t be slotting into an existing team or inheriting someone else’s playbook - you’ll be the person who builds the systems, sets the standards, and makes the technology actually work for the business. If you want real ownership and the chance to shape a function from day one, this is that opportunity.

What you’ll own, Why NHC

• Real ownership. You set the direction for IT. No layers, no politics.
• Stable, growing business. We make a product people need, and we’re growing.
• Operator-led company. We use EOS to run the business, which means clear priorities, real accountability, and no surprises.
• Competitive pay at $26-$36/hr based on experience (45-hour standard week, approx. $64k-$89k/year with overtime), plus benefits.
• Room to grow. As we scale, this role can grow into an IT Manager position with a team underneath you., * 401(k) matching
