Role Purpose
Our IT mission is to ensure technology genuinely empowers H&V to create a cleaner world—and infrastructure is the foundation that the mission rests on. When it works, no one notices. When it doesn't, production stops and deadlines slip. Nearly every system the business runs on touches infrastructure you're responsible for.
You own the Windows server estate—on-premises, virtual, and in the Microsoft cloud. You design new systems, maintain the standards they're built to, and set the bar for how the work gets done across our US mill sites and international locations.

The role mixes architecture and administration—you'll spend time designing new systems and time running the day-to-day work that keeps them healthy. Throughout, you put the customer first: success isn't measured by the systems you deliver, but by whether they help the business achieve its goals.

You tune for performance and find servers that are starved, oversubscribed, or drifting before users do.
You troubleshoot, repair, and recover from system failures.
You operate the server-side operational stack (NinjaOne, CrowdStrike): patches deploy on schedule, alerts get investigated, exclusions are managed deliberately.
Active Directory & Domain Services
You operate and evolve Active Directory end to end: objects, sites, OUs, GPOs, domain controllers, replication, and DNS.
You own AD hygiene—setting the standard, surfacing drift in accounts, groups, and GPOs, and…
