  • Report on project progress, system performance, and key IT metrics.

Systems Development & Integration

  • Design and implement systems that connect manufacturing equipment, sensors, and controls to capture real-time performance data.
  • Manage and optimize critical systems including ERP/MRP, MES, SCADA, and production control applications.
  • Ensure system uptime, reliability, and integration across production and business environments.
  • Lead projects integrating machine data with business systems to improve process efficiency and decision-making.
  • Evaluate and deploy technologies that enhance data collection, automation, and connectivity.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation, standards, and change management procedures.

Infrastructure & Security Management

  • Plan, design, and maintain EPC’s IT infrastructure including networks, servers, and enterprise applications.
  • Ensure secure and reliable operations across all locations.
  • Oversee data backups, disaster recovery, and business continuity programs.
  • Develop and enforce cybersecurity policies covering threats, vulnerabilities, incidents, and data protection.
  • Work with external auditors or consultants to ensure compliance with data protection frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST, or equivalent).

User Support & Technical Guidance

  • Provide hands-on technical support across office and manufacturing environments.
  • Collaborate with production, engineering, and administrative teams to identify and implement technological improvements.
  • Deliver training and support for IT tools, new systems, and cybersecurity awareness.

What You’ll Bring

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
  • Previous IT experience, including leadership or management within a manufacturing or industrial setting.
  • Strong knowledge of IT infrastructure and system administration in a production environment.
  • Proficiency with networking (LAN/WAN/VPN), Windows Server, Active Directory, virtualization, and cloud platforms.
  • Experience with ERP/MRP systems and integration with manufacturing data or applications.
  • Experience with automation systems, industrial networks, and IoT devices.
  • Familiarity with PLC, MES, SCADA, OPC, MQTT, Ignition, or Kepware systems.
  • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and project management skills.
  • Excellent communication and leadership abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

  • IT certifications (CompTIA Network+, Security+, Cisco CCNA, Microsoft Certified, or CISSP).

Work Environment

  • Primarily office-based, with regular interaction on the manufacturing floor.
  • May include installation or maintenance of hardware, running network cables, and occasional use of ladders or scissor lifts.
  • Includes occasional lifting, bending, or reaching (up to 50 lbs).
