IT Infrastructure Engineer

Function

Engineers, builds, and supports the company's enterprise infrastructure, including compute and virtualization, storage, LAN/WAN and wireless networks, backup and disaster recovery, and cloud and identity services, across multi‑plant operations. Designs and implements these systems to the architecture, security, and configuration standards set by the Manager, IT Infrastructure & Security, and provides hands‑on maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting to keep them reliable and available.

This is a hands‑on technical role that combines infrastructure design and build with ongoing network and systems support. It works alongside the department's cybersecurity function, which owns the security program (vulnerability management, detection, and endpoint security), and the Support & Systems team, which handles end‑user and desktop support.
