Hybrid

Our client, a healthcare-technology manufacturer producing bed systems, patient lifting and repositioning solutions, and therapeutic support surfaces, is looking for a versatile IT Systems Administrator to join their growing technology team. This hybrid role blends network administration, end-user support, and systems analysis into a single position — ideal for a well-rounded technologist who enjoys variety and wants direct visibility into how their work impacts the organization.

This position is well-suited for someone who thrives in a mid-sized environment (50-500 employees) where IT staff wear multiple hats, keep the network running smoothly, and serve as the trusted go-to for employees who need help.
