This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone comfortable wearing multiple hats - one week may be spent hardening the network and supporting drivers and dispatchers, the next conducting IT discovery at a newly acquired hauler and planning the migration of their email, accounting, and routing systems. Success means a secure, reliable, standardized IT environment across every Elevate location, old and new., Base Business Operations & Infrastructure * Administer core platforms including Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, identity and access management (Entra ID / Active Directory), and endpoint management (MDM). * Manage and support all end-user hardware - laptops, desktops, tablets, mobile devices, printers, and peripherals - across corporate offices and field locations. * Maintain network infrastructure (firewalls, switches, VPN, Wi-Fi, ISP/connectivity) across offices, hauling yards, and transfer stations, including multi-site connectivity. * Provide responsive help desk and end-user support; triage, document, and resolve tickets; build basic self-service and knowledge resources. * Own backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity processes, including regular testing. * Implement and maintain cybersecurity fundamentals: patching, MFA, endpoint protection (EDR), email security, access reviews, and employee security-awareness practices. * Support business and operational software, including waste-industry systems such as routing/dispatch and hauling management software, ELD/telematics, scale-house/weighbridge systems, billing, and accounting, and VoIP / phone systems. * Manage IT vendors, licenses, renewals, and asset inventory; control IT spend and recommend cost-effective solutions. Acquisition Integration (M&A) - Expected cadence: 4-6 acquisitions per year (minimum) * Conduct IT due diligence and discovery at target and newly acquired companies - inventorying systems, hardware, contracts, licenses, connectivity, and security posture. * Build and execute integration plans to migrate acquired companies onto Elevate's standard stack (email/identity, file storage, accounting, routing/billing systems, and security controls). * Lead data migrations from legacy hauling, billing, and accounting platforms into platform-standard systems with minimal disruption to operations. * Standardize and refresh acquired hardware; establish reliable connectivity at new sites; decommission redundant or end-of-life systems. * Onboard acquired employees to corporate systems, accounts, devices, and security policies. * Consolidate duplicate vendors and contracts; document the integrated environment. * Build repeatable playbooks and runbooks so each successive integration is faster and more consistent than the last.
