Systems Administrator
Carte International Inc. is a Winnipeg-based manufacturer of distribution transformers serving utilities across North America. Our information technology function is delivered by a two-person team, and we are seeking an experienced Systems Administrator to join it.
This is a broad, hands-on generalist role. Reporting to the Director of Information Technology, the successful candidate will work across the organization's full technology environment — infrastructure, networking, security, business continuity, and end-user support — rather than within a single specialization. The position suits a self-directed professional who is comfortable working independently, exercising sound judgment on day-to-day priorities, and seeing technical work through to completion with limited oversight.
What you'll do
Infrastructure & networking
- Administer our Windows Server domain, Active Directory, and Group Policy
- Run our virtualization environments — Proxmox and Hyper-V — and the workloads on them
- Configure and maintain the network: VLANs, DHCP, DNS, WiFi, routing, and switching
- Keep IP address management and infrastructure documentation current in NetBox
- Administer Linux servers alongside the Windows infrastructure
Security & business continuity
- Administer backup and disaster recovery through Veeam, including regular restore testing
- Manage endpoint protection and threat detection through SentinelOne
- Administer Zscaler web security and Zero Trust access policies
- Maintain Fortinet firewalls and network security appliances
- Drive patch management and security hygiene across every system we run
Identity & access
- Manage Microsoft Entra ID — SSO, conditional access, and policy
- Handle user provisioning, deprovisioning, and periodic access reviews
End users & productivity
- Support workstations across their full hardware and OS lifecycle
- Deploy and maintain software through PDQ Deploy & Inventory
- Administer Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and collaboration tools
- Deliver exemplarily customer support
Automation & documentation
- Write and maintain PowerShell to automate the work you'd rather not repeat
- Administer Microsoft SQL Server instances and databases
- Document configurations, procedures, and runbooks so the knowledge outlives you
- Contribute to IT projects and cross-functional initiatives from planning through delivery
What you bring
Must have
- 3–5+ years in systems administration or infrastructure
- Windows Server, Active Directory, and Group Policy administration
- Hypervisor experience — Proxmox and/or Hyper-V
- Practical networking: VLANs, DHCP, DNS, WiFi, and basic firewall administration
- Hands-on endpoint protection and backup/recovery experience (SentinelOne and Veeam, or equivalents)
- Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD administration
- PowerShell proficiency
Nice to have
- Manufacturing or industrial environment experience
- Fortinet firewall administration
- Zscaler administration
- Linux server administration
- Microsoft SQL Server administration
- PDQ Deploy & Inventory
How you work
- Self-motivated — comfortable working independently across a wide range of systems
- A clear communicator, in writing and in person
- Disciplined about documentation
- Curious, and constantly picking up something new
- Able to plan, prioritize, and finish
The practical details
- On-site at our Winnipeg manufacturing facility
- Off-hours availability for emergency incidents and planned maintenance windows
- Occasional after-hours project work — upgrades, migrations, and DR testing
