<div>We are Proud to be SJE!

At SJE, we are more than a company &mdash; we are a family of brands with a shared vision and mission to provide industry-leading, innovative, and reliable control and monitoring solutions that improve efficiencies, protect the environment, and deliver dependable solutions to our valued customers.

The job:

The IT Service Desk Manager is a hands‑on technical leader responsible for directly supporting and managing Helpdesk and Desktop Support operations across multiple manufacturing sites. This role blends leadership with active participation in daily support tasks&mdash;jumping into complex tickets, assisting with device deployments, supporting shop‑floor technology, and ensuring that all employees across production facilities, offices, and remote sites receive timely, high‑quality technical support.

The ideal candidate is as comfortable working tickets and deploying devices as they are coaching technicians, building processes, and partnering with plant leadership. This role is critical to maintaining uptime, improving support maturity, and ensuring a secure, efficient end‑user experience.

<ul>
<li>Work directly on escalated Helpdesk and Desktop Support tickets, including hardware issues, configuration problems, imaging, networking, and account access.</li>
<li>Perform hands‑on device builds, OS imaging, Intune enrollment, printer configuration, and workstation setup.</li>
<li>Support plant‑floor technology: PCs, scanners, label/barcode printers, production check‑in stations, and network‑connected industrial devices.</li>

</ul>
Leadership &amp; Team Development
<ul>
<li>Lead, coach, and mentor Helpdesk and Desktop Support technicians with a focus on growing technical depth and troubleshooting skills.</li>
<li>Set daily/weekly priorities, provide guidance on active tickets, and ensure consistent coverage across multiple time zones and sites.</li>
<li>Participate in interviews, hiring, onboarding, and performance development for support staff.</li>
</ul>
Service Delivery &amp; Operational Excellence
<ul>
<li>Monitor ticket queues and personally intervene where needed to keep SLAs on track.</li>
<li>Establish and maintain realistic SLAs, escalation rules, and service expectations.</li>
<li>Improve ticket quality through coaching, peer reviews, and knowledge sharing.</li>
<li>Perform root‑cause analysis on recurring issues and implement fixes with the team.</li>
</ul>
Process Creation &amp; Standardization
<ul>
<li>Create hands‑on support documentation, &ldquo;How‑To&rdquo; guides, imaging steps, and troubleshooting playbooks.</li>
<li>Build and maintain a strong knowledge base to enable faster resolution and onboarding.</li>
<li>Standardize desktop builds, device provisioning, and software deployment processes.</li>
<li>Identify recurring pain points and actively implement technical and process improvements.</li>
</ul>
Endpoint Administration &amp; Asset Management
<ul>
<li>Oversee and participate in device lifecycle management: imaging, patching, repairs, replacements, and decommissioning.</li>
<li>Maintain accurate inventory and asset tracking; ensure proper documentation and labeling.</li>
<li>Validate endpoint compliance, encryption status, and security-baseline adherence.</li>
</ul>
Manufacturing Support Alignment
<ul>
<li>Work closely with plant managers, supervisors, line leads, and maintenance teams to understand production needs.</li>
<li>Ensure IT support adapts to shift schedules, production changeovers, and high‑volume periods.</li>
<li>Respond quickly to floor‑impacting issues and minimize downtime.</li>
</ul>
Cybersecurity &amp; Policy Compliance
<ul>
<li>Enforce secure support practices (MFA, privileged access, device isolation, patching).</li>
<li>Support cybersecurity team with incident response steps, evidence capture, and endpoint containment.</li>
<li>Ensure technicians follow safe handling procedures for sensitive equipment and information.</li>
</ul>
Reporting &amp; Continuous Improvement
<ul>
<li>Track and report on SLA performance, ticket metrics, and site‑level support needs.</li>
<li>Recommend staffing, tooling, and process adjustments based on real data and hands‑on observations.</li>
<li>Drive continuous improvement across the support function through practical, actionable changes.</li>
</ul>
The ideal candidate will bring both technical acumen and team leadership skills, providing structure and consistency to support operations while remaining adaptable in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
