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.

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.
