Senior Workday Administrator

We are building a team of trailblazers, who embody growth, impact, and excellence.

Job Description

At Pinnacle, our vision is to make the world reliable, one customer at a time. Reliability, to us, means customers can trust that their facilities operate when and how they are supposed to - safely, efficiently, and continuously improving.

We help our customers increase safety, efficiency, and performance by deeply understanding their goals, solving real problems, executing with discipline, and staying aligned every step of the way. This is not abstract - it is how we work, every day.

How We Work: The Pinnacle Way

Every role at Pinnacle operates within The Pinnacle Way (TPW). This is not a set of values on a wall - it is the standard by which we hire, work, and measure our success.

We Understand

We seek to understand the real goals, constraints, people, and dynamics at play - not just what is said out loud. We listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and adjust when our assumptions are wrong.

We Solve

We take ownership of problems. We collaborate, think creatively, and build thoughtful solutions - especially when the path forward is not obvious.

We Execute

We value disciplined execution. Our work is organized, intentional, high-quality, and delivered with consistency. We follow through and hold ourselves accountable.

We Align

We communicate clearly and proactively. We keep each other and customers informed, aligned, and never surprised by outcomes or progress.

Who Thrives at Pinnacle

Across every function, level, and role, successful Pinnacle team members consistently demonstrate these behaviors:

• Hungry - You are driven, self-motivated, and energized by meaningful work. You look for ways to contribute beyond what is asked.
• Humble - You prioritize team and customer success over personal recognition. You give credit, accept feedback, and own mistakes.
• Smart - You learn quickly, think critically, and navigate complexity with curiosity rather than intimidation.
• No Fear - You are comfortable with ambiguity, willing to take thoughtful risks, and resilient when things don’t go as planned.

These are not “nice to have” behaviors; they are essential.
