About The Position

We are seeking a motivated Operational IT Technician, based in Downingtown, PA, who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced environment and wants to be directly embedded in operations.

This role will support employees via remote, phone and local travel support to production facilities and offices.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on their feet, solving problems face-to-face, and working side-by-side with operations to keep production running.
