Van Packer • Buda, IL

About The Position

This role owns the day-to-day IT support experience at Van-Packer and partners across the company on our business systems. The right person keeps our existing setup (networks, printing, endpoints) reliable while helping push toward modern, paperless, cloud-based ways of working, including using AI where it makes sense. You'll work alongside our managed service provider (MSP) on support today, with the goal of bringing more in-house over time. Equal parts dependable problem-solver and change champion. We care as much about ownership and fit as we do about any single technology on the list.

Requirements

• Self-directed, sees problems through, and follows up without being chased.
• Solid troubleshooting across help desk, networking, and endpoints in a real-world environment.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and identity/security fundamentals (MFA, permissions).
• Patience and clear communication with users at every comfort level. We have folks who still print, and that's fine.
• Real interest in moving an organization toward modern, paperless, cloud-based, and AI-assisted tools, and the tact to bring people along rather than force it.

Nice To Haves

• Manufacturing / Shop-Floor Systems: CNC, OT, or shop-floor technology experience. For a candidate who brings this, the role can expand to include manufacturing systems support. It's genuine upside, not a requirement.
• Scripting/automation (PowerShell or similar).
• Prior Odoo or comparable ERP experience.

Responsibilities

• Be the go-to person for user issues across hardware, software, accounts, printing, and connectivity. Own the ticket queue and see issues through to resolution.
• Work with our managed service provider on tickets and escalations, and gradually take on more support in-house to reduce our dependency on outside help where it makes sense.
• Help keep the network, wireless, and end-user devices running smoothly across the office and shop.
• Keep legacy workflows (printing, local network dependencies) dependable for the people who still rely on them, while leading the shift toward paperless processes, cloud services, and modern tools.
• Help identify where AI tools can improve workflows and support their rollout across the company, while establishing guardrails for secure and appropriate use (data handling, acceptable-use practices, tool vetting).
• Partner with the Director of Business Systems & Marketing and other stakeholders (Technical Solutions, Finance, Operations, Sales) on the Odoo ERP implementation and ongoing systems support.
• Help manage accounts, access, and MFA, and support backups and patching so the basics stay covered.
• Keep clear records of systems, configurations, and recurring fixes so knowledge doesn't live in one person's head.
