The Richmond Group USA has been engaged in a search for a well-rounded IT System Administrator to join a global, privately-owned specialty products manufacturer and distributor. This industry leader is successful and growing—doubling the size of its U.S. business since 2021 and delivering ~10% growth this year even amid tariffs. You’ll be part of a strong work culture (a genuinely positive place to work) with no nights or weekends, and a company already planning to expand its facility footprint to support continued growth.
In this role, you’ll own on-site IS / IT support for the North American operation while aligning with high-level strategies from HQ in Europe. You’ll procure, configure, and support Windows desktops / laptops and peripherals (printers, scanners); deploy and maintain physical / virtual servers (VMware ESXi) across Windows Server and Debian Linux; manage backup / replication (Veeam); and maintain network infrastructure (managed switches, VLAN L2 / L3 segmentation, WLAN, monitoring / diagnostics, SD-WAN redundancy / failover, FortiGate firewalls, and VPN tunneling for site-to-site and remote access). You’ll support user accounts (locally and with the Corporate IT team), conference room A / V, and facility technology services (security / surveillance, entry systems, environmental sensors, vendor-managed ERP—Sage 300), while enforcing security best practices, documenting systems, managing inventory / lifecycle, collaborating with remote teams, and traveling occasionally to the European HQ for training.
If this sounds like your kind of hands-on, high-impact IT role, we’d love to hear from you—Apply today!
