We have 9 manufacturing facilities, 13+ distribution centers, and over 900 people working across more than 20 locations in Canada and the United States.\nThat kind of footprint doesn't run itself. Every plant, every distribution center, every field salesperson and office team depends on technology that simply works. That's what our IT team delivers - and it's why the people who lead it matter so much.\n WHY WE NEED YOU\nOur infrastructure doesn't stand still. Servers, networks, storage, and the systems that monitor them all need someone who treats \"keeping the lights on\" as a floor, not a ceiling - someone who maintains what's there, spots what's about to break, and pushes the environment forward with the rest of the IT team.\nYou'll work close to the ground - configuring, testing, monitoring, patching, troubleshooting - while staying connected to the bigger picture: the infrastructure roadmap the IT team is building together. That means you need to be as comfortable in a server room or on a network diagram as you are documenting a fix so the next person doesn't have to solve it twice.\nWHY YOU WILL (OR WON'T) LIKE WORKING HERE\nYou'll love this job if you want real ownership over infrastructure that touches every site in a large, growing manufacturing company - and if you'd rather fix the root cause than the symptom.\nYou won't love it if you need everything already figured out. We're a manufacturing company that moves fast and evolves constantly - some of our processes are mature, some are still being defined, and you'll have a hand in shaping both. If a little ambiguity feels like opportunity, you'll be right at home.\nWHAT YOU'LL OWN\nInfrastructure Standards\nHelp ensure infrastructure and its operation stay compliant with established policies, procedures, and company standards.\nMulti-Site Infrastructure Administration\nParticipate in the installation and administration of infrastructure across the company's various sites.\nKeep all infrastructure components current - networks, servers, storage.\nManage server monitoring systems to catch issues before they become outages.\nProblem Resolution\nAnalyze reported problems, diagnose root causes, reproduce issues, and assess impact.\nTake the necessary corrective action and follow through until full resolution.\nData Protection & Continuity\nManage data backup and archiving processes.\nCollaborate on the implementation, maintenance, and testing of the IT disaster recovery plan.\nProjects, Documentation & Support\nActively participate in new technology implementation projects and other IT initiatives.\nProduce technical documentation for the infrastructure and for new projects.\nProvide after-hours support on a rotating on-call schedule with other team members.\nTravel occasionally (approximately 5% of the time) to our sites in Quebec, Ontario, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and North Carolina.\n WHO YOU ARE\nYou stay calm when things break, which they will. You're organized enough to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the bigger picture, and thorough enough that your documentation actually gets used. You communicate clearly with both technicians and non-technical staff, and you know how to adjust your register for the room.\nYou're bilingual - genuinely comfortable in both French and English - which matters in a company that runs plants in Quebec and offices across North America. And you care about getting it right, not just getting it done, because the people across the company who depend on the infrastructure are counting on you even if they never know your name.\nIDEAL EXPERIENCE\n5+ years of experience as a systems administrator or in a similar infrastructure role.\nExperience in a multi-site environment, ideally manufacturing, distribution, or industrial - you understand what it means when operations go down.\nSolid hands-on experience with virtualized servers (Linux & Windows), networks, and storage (installation, administration, maintenance, and troubleshooting).\nStrong command of the Microsoft stack: Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Azure AD, Intune, SharePoint, Azure IaaS\nExperience with backup, archiving, and monitoring tools, and familiarity with disaster recovery planning and testing.\nFamiliarity with ERP environments\nComfortable working from an ITSM/ticketing platform - Jira preferred.\nExperience in Cloud Environment (Azure, AWS, Docker)\nFluency in French and English is required - our headquarters is in Saint-Hubert, QC and the team spans the country.\n Techo-Bloc offers a structured and supportive environment where employees can build long-term careers. We provide competitive compensation and a full range of benefits, including:\nGroup insurance and RRSP with employer contribution\n24/7 telemedicine and Employee Assistance Program\nTraining and career development opportunities\nPerformance-based bonuses\nEmployee recognition programs\nProduct discounts and workplace perks (snacks, events, free parking)","description_format":"text","description_chars":5216,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"French","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Garden & Outdoor Living","Building Materials"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-14T12:12:20Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"CA","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Positions approved through LMIA in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":12,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"High Wage","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:10:52+00:00","sources":["ESDC: employers issued a positive LMIA"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.372,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":63,"expected_fill_days":13,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/techo-bloc-systems-administrator-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/techo-bloc-systems-administrator-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T08:19:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12524,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4166},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4166"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-systems-administrator-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-systems-administrator-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-systems-administrator-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/techo-bloc-systems-administrator-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftecho-bloc-systems-administrator-2"}]}
