This individual functions as the primary escalation point for complex technical issues coordinating with third-party partners to ensure business continuity across manufacturing and office environments. This is a field-focused role requiring regular interaction with shop floor systems—such as HMI and PLC interfaces—and site leadership to optimize technology practices and security.

Provide Tier 1–3 level diagnostic support for hardware, software, and connectivity issues across both office and plant environments.
Maintain and optimize cloud and traditional on-premises data center infrastructure, including virtualization platforms and storage.
Provide hands-on support for manufacturing environments, ensuring the health and performance of shop floor systems.
Catalog and inventory, as needed, IT / OT equipment and maintain CMDB.
Services Support & Tactical Oversight
Triage EST P1 and P2 calls to ensure response of appropriate parties.
Mentor other staff, fostering a collaborative atmosphere and professional growth through technical training.
Analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) and service level agreements (SLAs) to identify and act on areas for service improvement.
Consult on helpdesk workload distribution and scheduling to maintain operational efficiency.
Develop and maintain accurate IT/OT documentation, including network diagrams, system configurations, and SOPs.
Collaborate with Enterprise IT/OT teams to ensure infrastructure is deployed according to defined architecture and security posture.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field, or commensurate equivalent work experience.
Experience: 5+ years of experience in managing enterprise-level IT infrastructure, with a focus on 24x7 manufacturing or industrial environments.
Technical Proficiency: Deep knowledge of Windows Server, virtualization platforms (VMware), Active Directory, and O365.
Networking: Experience with HPE or Cisco networking platforms and knowledge of firewalls (e.g., FortiGate).
Lead Skills: Proven ability to manage 3rd party vendor relationships and communicate up and down the chain.
Soft Skills: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with a focus on rapport-building and listening.
Analytical Ability: Proven analytical and problem-solving abilities to execute tasks in high-pressure environments.
Schedule: 40-hour on-site work week with emergency call-in availability for 24-hour production environments.
Environment: Ability to work in both quiet corporate offices and industrial facilities with varying noise and temperature levels.
Physical: Ability to lift 40 lbs. unassisted and possess the manual dexterity to operate power tools and computer components.
Travel: Regular travel to packaging facilities is expected for system integration, team development and rapport building.
Manufacturer and Supplier of Containerboard & Corrugated Packaging
New-Indy Containerboard, LLC was formed in 2012 as a joint venture by the Kraft Group, LLC and the Schwarz Partners, LP, combining the capabilities of the larger integrated manufacturers with the entrepreneurial spirit of a responsive independent. NICB uses 100% recycled fiber in the manufacturing process in 3 of our 4 paper mills. These 3 mills receive 125 truckloads of Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) on a daily basis. This raw material is converted into 100% recycled liner and medium containerboard. The recycled paper is then sent to packaging plants throughout our local markets. Our largest mill in Catawba, SC is a kraft mill providing ultra high performance liner to our own box plants, trade partners and is available to the broader packaging market both domestically and internationally. Each of the two California locations has a co-generation power plant that not only provides 100% of the mill’s electrical power needs, but also supplies power to thousands of CA homes and businesses through our partnership with Southern California Edison. In addition, the mills purchase recycled water from the local utilities, and our processes conserve water by recycling it multiple times.
