Role Purpose

Your job is to help people. When someone at H&V has an IT problem — they can’t log in, their laptop is acting up, they need access to something — you’re the person they reach out to. How you handle that interaction matters. You listen, you communicate clearly, you follow through, and you don’t disappear on them. When you do this well, people trust IT. When you don’t, they stop calling and start working around us.

For many employees, you’ll be the only direct interaction they have with IT. That means you’re not just fixing technical problems — you’re shaping how the entire organization experiences IT support. Technical skill matters, but it’s secondary to your ability to connect with people, understand what they actually need, get them back to productive work, and spot ways to make things better.

Key Responsibilities

Customer Partnership & Communication

• You’re the first point of contact for IT requests — via the service management platform, Teams, email, walk-ups, or phone

• You approach every interaction with patience, recognizing that the person reaching out may be frustrated, pressed for time, or not technical

• You listen first to understand the actual problem and its impact before jumping to solutions

• You keep people informed throughout — no one should have to wonder what’s happening with their request

• You follow up to make sure the fix actually worked

• If you need to escalate or hand something off, you make sure the customer knows what to expect and nothing gets dropped

 Incident & Request Triage

• You log tickets accurately with good documentation — the next person who looks at it should understand what’s going on

• You balance speed with doing things right; not every issue needs to be escalated, but the ones that do shouldn’t sit

• You work your queue and meet the service levels the team commits to

• You know the escalation paths and hand off cleanly when needed

 Technical Support (L1 Scope)

You provide first-level support across these areas:

Identity and Access Management

• Password resets, account unlocks, MFA issues including Authenticator app setup and recovery

• Basic Active Directory tasks — verifying accounts, checking group memberships, and provisioning access per documented procedures

• New hire onboarding and departure offboarding — laptop setup, account creation/deactivation, equipment collection

Endpoint & Hardware Support

• Common Windows issues — login failures, slow performance, application crashes

• Laptops, desktops, docking stations, monitors, printers, scanners, and peripherals

• Mobile devices (iOS and Android) — email setup, connectivity, basic troubleshooting

• Deployment of approved applications and licenses

Microsoft 365 & Collaboration

• Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint — access issues, sync problems, permissions

• Conference room A/V systems

Additional Responsibilities

• VPN, wireless, and wired network connectivity troubleshooting

• Endpoint security — verifying BitLocker and antivirus status, escalating potential security issues

• IT asset inventory — keeping records accurate, coordinating equipment through its lifecycle, following procedures for decommissioning

Manufacturing Site Support

• Onsite support for shop floor environments — PCs, terminals, barcode scanners, label printers

• Triaging manufacturing application issues (ERP, MES) and routing them to the applications team with clear documentation of what’s happening and why it matters

 Team Collaboration & Learning

• You work across shifts in a follow-the-sun model and keep your teammates informed on handoffs

• You share what you learn — contributing to the Knowledge Base instead of keeping solutions in your head

• You’re committed to learning ITSM fundamentals and growing your skills over time

• You serve as eyes and ears for network, security, and infrastructure teams — flagging issues, gathering information, and communicating clearly so problems get resolved faster

Required Skills & Behaviors

• You genuinely like helping people and have the patience to work with someone who’s frustrated or confused

• You communicate clearly and keep people in the loop — no one should have to chase you for an update

• You own your work and follow through until the problem is actually solved, not just passed along

• You can troubleshoot methodically but also know when to ask for help

• You speak up when something doesn’t look right

• You follow procedures, but you push back when they don’t make sense

• You’re someone people enjoy working with

Technical Knowledge (Foundational)

• Windows client operating systems

• Microsoft 365 — Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint

• Mobile devices — iOS and Android phones and tablets, including email configuration, app management, and Wi-Fi connectivity

• Active Directory basics — accounts, groups, password management

• Multi-factor authentication

• Endpoint security fundamentals — antivirus, encryption

• Basic networking — TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi

• Printers and peripheral devices

• Familiarity with manufacturing or industrial environments is a plus

Qualifications

• 1–3 years in IT support or a customer-facing technical role

Starting at $60,000

Role Purpose

Our IT mission is to ensure technology genuinely empowers H&V to create a cleaner world—and the network is what carries that mission between every site, system, and person. When it works, no one thinks about it. When it doesn’t, a plant can’t reach the ERP, a mill drops off monitoring, and the business feels it. The network you help run underpins nearly everything H&V does.

As a Network Engineer, you’re the hands that keep the network running and growing. You deploy and configure the switches, firewalls, wireless, and connectivity our sites depend on—working to the standards and designs set by the senior engineering team, and contributing your own ideas where they help. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: you’ll spend your days deploying hardware, making changes, resolving issues, and keeping the network healthy across H&V’s mills and offices. A central part of the role is deploying next-generation firewalls across our OT (operational technology) sites—hands-on project work that directly shapes how we protect production. You’ll grow under the guidance of senior engineers, and throughout you put the customer first: success is measured by whether the business can rely on the network you help build.

Key Responsibilities

Network Deployment & Engineering

• You deploy and configure network hardware—switches, routers, and wireless access points—installed cleanly, configured to standard, and documented.
• You make the day-to-day changes: VLANs, port configuration and security, and switch and routing updates, executed carefully and with change discipline.
• You keep campus switching and wireless coverage holding up in industrial environments—not just conference rooms—and the wiring closet organized and documented.
• You work to the designs and standards set by the senior engineering team, and you contribute to design where your hands-on perspective helps.
• You troubleshoot connectivity issues from the physical layer up, and when something is beyond your depth you escalate with good information—after you’ve dug in, not before.

OT Firewall Deployment

• You’re hands-on in deploying next-generation firewalls (Palo Alto) across H&V’s OT sites—staging, installing, cabling, configuring to the approved design, and validating cutover.
• You partner with the OT Engineering team and senior network engineers to roll these out without disrupting production—OT environments can’t just be rebooted, and you plan your work accordingly.
• You document each deployment so the next site goes faster and the estate stays consistent.

WAN, Connectivity & Firewalls

• Our MSP monitors the WAN day to day. When they escalate to check on-site conditions—a link, a device, a wiring closet—you make sure the question gets answered: handling it yourself, or coordinating someone on the field team to be your eyes and hands at the site.
• You support the wide-area network—SD-WAN (Cato SASE), MPLS, and VPN—working tickets and escalations through to resolution.
• You test HA failover on firewall pairs and redundant paths so the redundancy actually works when it’s needed. Redundancy you’ve never failed over to is a hope, not a plan.
• You implement firewall changes to approved, scoped requests—specific sources, destinations, and ports, documented—so “allow” is always deliberate, never any/any.
• You help maintain segmentation and apply security standards as they’re designed.

UPS, Power & Environmental

• You ensure UPS units across sites are monitored and maintained—batteries replaced on schedule and alerts configured, so a failing unit is known before it drops a load.
• You keep an eye on the power and environmental conditions the network gear depends on, and you flag risks before they take a closet down.

Monitoring, Documentation & Backups

• You monitor the network for faults and alerts, and you investigate them rather than just clearing them.
• You keep documentation and inventory current—topology, addressing, and device records that match reality.
• You back up device configurations so any device can be rebuilt. A config that only lives on the device is a config you’ll eventually lose.

Privileged & Secure Access

• You work within the Privileged Access Management (PAM) model—admin credentials come from the vault, MFA is on, and you don’t keep standing admin rights or local copies of passwords.
• You help enroll new network and security devices into PAM as they’re deployed.

Tools, Automation & AI

• You use scripts and vendor tools to make repetitive work faster and less error-prone, and you lean on AI assistants in your day-to-day to work more effectively.
• You bring curiosity for doing things better—not just clearing the queue.

Vendor & Carrier Coordination

• You coordinate with carriers, vendors, and MSPs on deployments and support tickets—holding them to what was promised and escalating when they don’t deliver.

How You Work

• You solve the customer’s problem, not just the ticket—you ask what they’re actually trying to accomplish before reaching for a fix.
• You look for what can be done, not why it can’t—and when the answer is no, you bring an alternative or escalate.
• You communicate clearly across audiences—the infrastructure team, the wider IT organization, and the business. People hear from you early and often, especially when things are hard, and you translate technical status into what each audience actually needs to know.
• You ask questions and learn fast. You’re growing into a senior engineer, and you treat feedback as fuel.

What You Own

• Clean deployments — hardware installed, configured to standard, and documented.
• Changes made carefully, with the change process followed and nothing left half-done.
• UPS and power monitoring kept current, so a dead battery never takes a site by surprise.
• Accurate documentation and device configuration backups.
• Tickets and issues driven to resolution, with clear escalation when you need it.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• US citizen or Green Card holder.
• 3+ years of hands-on network experience, or strong fundamentals paired with a relevant certification.
• Solid working knowledge of switching and VLANs, plus practical routing fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience deploying and configuring network hardware—switches, access points, and firewalls.
• Comfortable making network changes carefully and following a change process.
• Familiarity with firewalls (Palo Alto a plus) and core network security concepts.
• Willing and able to travel to H&V sites for deployments—including the OT firewall rollout—and to participate in an after-hours/on-call rotation.
• Customer-first mindset and a genuine willingness to learn and grow.
• Strong communicator—you can keep the infrastructure team, the wider IT organization, and business stakeholders clearly informed, in terms that fit each audience.
• Working comfort with AI tools in day-to-day work.

Preferred

• CCNA (or actively working toward it); CCNP a bonus.
• Exposure to our stack—Cato SASE and Palo Alto NGFW—or close equivalents.
• Experience in manufacturing, OT/industrial, or distributed site environments.
• Familiarity with UPS/power monitoring and structured cabling.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent work experience.

Apply

Hollingsworth & Vose is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, national origin, marital status, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other protected status.

Role Purpose

Your job is to turn data into decisions. Hollingsworth & Vose is a global specialty manufacturer with mill operations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia — and the people running those operations, from the mill floor to senior management, need numbers they can trust and analytics they can act on. You build those.

A dashboard is not the outcome. The outcome is a plant manager who catches a margin problem a month earlier, or a finance team that stops arguing about whose number is right. We measure this role by results that matter to the business, not by reports shipped. Trust is the product — you treat it that way.

This is also a role for someone who wants to build with AI, not just read about it. We are embedding AI into how IT delivers — natural-language access to data, automated insights, AI-assisted development — and this role sits at the center of that work.

What You Own

• Analytics people rely on. Power BI dashboards and reports covering trend, variance, cost, and margin analysis — with drill-through, drill-down, parameters, and dynamic filtering that let people answer their own next question.
• Semantic models that hold up. Accurate models, measures, and KPIs. Multi-site, multi-currency, imperial/metric — handled correctly, to our site and item naming conventions, every time. If two reports disagree, that’s your problem to run down.
• The data behind the numbers. Strong SQL against Oracle EBS and our MES database to source, validate, and shape data. You verify before you publish — and when a number is wrong, “the source data was bad” is where your job starts, not where it ends.
• The sales cube. Develop against our central SSAS multidimensional cube (live connection / MDX) for cross-ERP, multi-currency sales and margin analysis.
• The existing SSRS estate. Maintain and rationalize current SSRS reports while the future state takes shape.
• AI in production. Build AI features into Power BI and our internal applications — natural-language Q&A, automated insights, anomaly detection, AI-assisted workflows — and use AI tools daily in your own development.
• The relationship. You listen first. You partner with stakeholders to understand the goal behind the question, and you deliver recommendations, not just charts. Nobody who depends on your work waits in the dark for a status update.
• Trust in the numbers. Data accuracy, documentation, and version control. Done means running in production, validated against source, documented, and handed off.

The Environment You’ll Work In

We’re honest about this: it’s a real manufacturing systems landscape, not a greenfield. The craft here is turning a complex environment into analytics people trust — if that sounds like work worth doing, you’ll like it here.

• Oracle E-Business Suite — OPM process and discrete manufacturing (recipes, batches, inventory, standard costing), AP/AR/GL, and order management, with significant in-house customization.
• A manufacturing execution system (MES) — sales orders, machine utilization, mill cost, raw-material consumption, quality metrics, and production scheduling.
• A central SSAS multidimensional sales cube aggregating data across ERP systems, with multi-currency and standard-vs-actual cost and margin analysis.
• Reporting today is largely SSRS and Power BI; AI tooling is expanding rapidly.

Required

• 3–5 years building analytical Power BI reports and dashboards — DAX, semantic modeling, performance tuning, row-level security.
• Strong SQL with hands-on experience querying Oracle databases.
• Experience consuming SSAS multidimensional cubes from Power BI, including MDX — not tabular/DAX only.
• SSRS report development or maintenance experience.
• Hands-on use of AI tools in your development work (tool-agnostic), and a genuine interest in building AI features into reports and applications.
• An analytical mindset — you interpret data, spot trends, and frame insight for decision-making.
• A strong communicator who partners well with non-technical stakeholders and works as part of a team.
• Comfortable working on-site at a manufacturing mill.

Preferred

• Oracle E-Business Suite experience, especially OPM process manufacturing.
• MES experience (Tieto TIPS a plus).
• Manufacturing or process-industry domain knowledge — costing, recipes, production and quality data.
• Master data management (MDM) exposure — working with item, customer, or site master data across multiple systems, or contributing to data governance and standardization efforts.
• Power Query / dataflows, paginated reports, or Microsoft Fabric experience.
