IT & Systems Administrator

About Us

We are a family of small businesses spanning agriculture and technology operations across multiple states and sites. We are guided by a clear mission and a set of values we actually run on:

Mission: We serve one another by consistently delivering genetic value through our God-honoring legacy of stewardship.

Vision: We cultivate generational impact through the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Values: Honor God First, Families Second  •  Consistently Excellent (we do not drift, we decide)  •  GRIT (passion plus perseverance, multiplied by effort).

Summary

The IT & Systems Administrator is responsible for the design, configuration, documentation, security, and reliable operation of the technology and connected systems that keep our businesses running. This is a hands-on, self-directed role that blends traditional IT with on-site infrastructure, light automation, and operational technology (OT) across all sites. This role reports to the General Manager.

Key Results Area #1 – Design and Implement

• Design or select technology systems (network, firewalls, Wi-Fi, servers, endpoints, phones, printers, security/access control, building controls, etc.) that support operations across all sites
• Identify current and future needs and coordinate design with Leadership
• Plan and execute network and connectivity projects (firewall/SonicWall, UniFi/UISP managed Wi-Fi, Starlink, ISP/demarc/antenna cutovers, redundancy)
• Stand up and manage cloud identity and devices (Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, MFA, shared-device authentication)
• Upgrade and repurpose equipment throughout company sites

Key Results Area #2 – Support and Train

• Educate and train employees on new and current equipment, software, and procedures, including more secure computer use
• Onboard and offboard employees across all entities (accounts, devices, permissions, equipment)
• Run security-awareness training and phishing-simulation campaigns (e.g., KnowBe4)
• Troubleshoot and repair systems (network, endpoint, application, server, controls) and resolve employee equipment and access issues promptly

Key Results Area #3 – Maintain, Secure, and Document

• Monitor performance and health of all technology and connected systems; maintain and verify backups, server health, and uptime
• Maintain operational technology and building/site systems — building automation/HVAC controls (e.g., Siemens Desigo), environmental and life-safety monitoring (Sensaphone, First Alert), access control (RemoteLock, UID Enterprise), solar monitoring (Fronius/Sunny)
• Direct and perform basic low-voltage and sensor work; troubleshoot voltages and connected devices on site
• Implement preventive maintenance schedules to minimize downtime; replace failing or expired equipment before it fails
• Enforce security policies, MFA, and least-privilege access; maintain records, asset inventories, and consistent status reporting for Leadership

Knowledge, Skills, and Experience (Target Competence)

We want a versatile technologist who can operate at or above the level of a seasoned managed-services technician — equally comfortable in a firewall console, a Microsoft 365 admin center, and a mechanical room. Strong candidates bring most of:

• Networking (SonicWall or equivalent, VLANs/SSIDs, UniFi/UISP, ISP/demarc cutovers, basic routing/redundancy)
• Microsoft 365 / cloud identity (Entra ID, Intune, MFA, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, licensing)
• Endpoints and support (Windows admin, imaging/onboarding, printers, QuickBooks/PDF/Dropbox and other business apps)
• Servers and backups (file/on-prem servers, NAS such as Synology, backup verification; VMs a plus)
• Security (MFA, KnowBe4 or similar, policy enforcement, secure media disposal)
• Operational technology (building/HVAC controls such as Siemens Desigo, Sensaphone, First Alert, RemoteLock, solar monitoring) — or strong aptitude to learn
• Hands-on aptitude (low-voltage wiring, sensor replacement, mounting/installs, basic electrical troubleshooting)
• Automation/development a plus (Power Automate/Forms, scripting, or willingness to build simple internal tools)
• Clear written documentation and a consistent reporting cadence
• Dependable, honest, service-minded, and able to prioritize independently across multiple businesses and sites

Agriculture or operations experience is helpful but not required; the ability to learn unfamiliar systems quickly matters more.

• This is a hybrid role with minimum 50% on-site. Compensation is heavily dependent on relevant skills and experience.
