Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Company Benefits

    Vehicle Support: Company truck allowance or mileage plan.

    • Retirement & Insurance: 401(k) with match, profit-sharing, and comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.

    • Time Off: Generous paid time off (PTO) plus paid volunteer days.

    • Professional Growth: Annual budget for professional development, including certifications and conference attendance.

    he Role

    This isn’t a sit-behind-the-desk IT job. You’ll be out in the field when needed — steel toes, hard hat, and all — making sure systems run where they matter most: active construction sites.

    What You’ll Own

    • Modernizing Systems: Audit current infrastructure, networks, and software. Close gaps and implement scalable solutions.

    • Field Connectivity: Keep communication seamless between HQ, jobsite trailers, and field crews (including iPad-based plans and documentation).

    • Infrastructure & Security: Oversee servers, networks, cloud environments, and cybersecurity; quickly address vulnerabilities.

    • IT Roadmap: Build a plan to support aggressive growth over the next 3–5 years.

    • Team Leadership: Grow and mentor a small IT team (currently 2 staff).

    • Hands-On Problem Solving: Step in personally when systems go down, networks fail, or new sites need setup.

    • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with project managers, superintendents, and leadership to align tech with operations.

    • Vendors & Budgets: Manage vendor relationships, negotiate contracts, and optimize spend.

    What You’ll Work On

    • Setting up and maintaining tech in 67+ active jobsite offices across NC, SC, and VA.

    • Supporting field communication for real-time plan changes, material adjustments, and project pivots.

    • Integrating field and office systems for tighter project coordination.

    • Ensuring reliability of conference rooms, jobsite networks, and mobile devices.

    • Advising leadership on new technologies that drive efficiency in a construction environment.

    What We’re Looking For

    • 7–10+ years in IT leadership with hands-on technical expertise (construction or similar industries preferred).

    • Experience managing infrastructure across multiple fixed and mobile sites.

    • Strong background in networking, cybersecurity, endpoint management, and field communications.

    • Ability to translate between business needs and technical requirements.

    • Comfortable blending strategy with on-the-ground problem solving.

    • Strong communicator and collaborator with non-technical teams.

    • Bachelor’s degree in IT/Computer Science (or equivalent experience).

    Why This Role Stands Out

    • You’re not just maintaining systems — you’re shaping the future of IT for a growing company.

    • You’ll have a direct say in tools, systems, and strategy.

    • The role blends high-level planning with hands-on fieldwork.

    • Projects are large-scale, complex, and high visibility.
