About The Position

Core Health & Fitness is a global manufacturer and distributor of commercial fitness equipment. Our IT Infrastructure team supports over 400 users across our global footprint. We are hiring a Systems Administrator, Distribution Operations to join our global IT Infrastructure team, based at our Lancaster, Texas facility. This role is a full member of the global infrastructure organization, not a site-only support role. You will contribute to enterprise infrastructure projects, standards, and operations alongside colleagues on the West Coast, while owning the on-site technical footprint of our highest-throughput fulfillment location. This is a hands-on generalist position spanning servers, networking, endpoints, cloud, and security. It suits someone who wants both the breadth of enterprise infrastructure work and the ownership that comes with being the senior technical presence at a business-critical site. The Lancaster distribution center is the operational backbone of our North American business. Order fulfillment, shipping, and warehouse operations across the region depend on the systems at this site staying available. You are the person who keeps them running — and the Central-time anchor that closes a real coverage gap for our global team.

• Practical networking skills: switching, wireless, VLANs, firewalls, and VPN troubleshooting.

• Ability to work on-site (3-4 days/week) in Lancaster, Texas and occasionally at a secondary site in the Dallas Metro area.

• Support cloud workloads across Microsoft Azure and Oracle OCI, in coordination with the infrastructure team.
