Lerch Bates is seeking an IT Specialist to support and enhance the technology systems that power our global organization.

As an IT Specialist, you will serve as a key technical resource responsible for administering and supporting our Microsoft 365 environment, endpoint management platform, network infrastructure, and IT security initiatives. You'll work closely with the VP of IT to maintain reliable, secure, and scalable technology solutions that support approximately 500 employees across 28 office locations.

This role combines advanced technical troubleshooting, cloud administration, Microsoft 365 management, and infrastructure support. You'll help drive technology improvements, support AI-enabled business tools like Microsoft Copilot, strengthen security practices, and ensure employees have the technology resources they need to be successful.

This position is ideal for a technology professional who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, improving systems, mentoring others, and contributing to strategic IT initiatives in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

One of the biggest advantages of working at Lerch Bates is that we are 100% employee-owned through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Unlike many companies that offer only a salary and retirement plan, eligible employees receive company-funded ESOP shares at no cost to them as part of their long-term retirement benefits.

As Lerch Bates grows, employee-owners share in the company's success. For many employees, the ESOP becomes one of the most valuable financial benefits of their career by helping build meaningful long-term wealth in addition to their salary and traditional 401(k).

When you join Lerch Bates, you are not just building better buildings. You also have the opportunity to build your financial future alongside the company's success.

Lerch Bates (LB) is a global technical consulting firm focused on improving how buildings perform for owners, designers, and the people who use them every day. For more than 75 years we’ve partnered on some of the world’s most complex and high-profile projects. Today we provide Total Building Performance expertise that integrates Building Science and Building Flow into a unified delivery model.

Our work spans design, construction, investigation, repair, rehabilitation, management, and modernization with one consistent goal: helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions in an increasingly complex built environment.

We are 100% employee-owned through our ESOP. That means when the company succeeds, our employee-owners share in that success. It's more than a retirement benefit—it's an ownership mindset backed by the opportunity to build long-term financial value while helping shape the future of the company.
