IT SysAdmin

If you're the type who geeks out over a clean Active Directory structure, takes pride in a well-architected virtualization environment, and wants to be part of a team that actually values IT, not just tolerates it, we want to talk. We're growing our internal IT team and looking for a Systems Administrator I who's ready to learn fast, build smart, and help us scale.

At Vertech, not only do we develop world-class industrial automation solutions for some of the top US companies, we also strive to be the team of choice for the best and brightest talent. The passion (and intelligence) our employees have is truly mind-blowing. In turn, we work hard to take care of our own with excellent benefits and pay, personal development, and transparent communication. We're the #1 Ignition integrator globally and were just named 2026 System Integrator of the Year by Control Engineering. Now we're expanding our IT team to keep pace with our growth, and you could be the next addition.
