ITW – IT Security Analyst

While this is not a work-from-home employment opportunity, there will be occasional remote work flexibility.  You will be welcomed to a friendly and supportive work environment.

Do your Information Technology interests run deeper than that of an application developer, or software maintenance coder? Do you like to know how and why things work behind the scenes, and how everything is interrelated?  Are you interested in working with Cybersecurity, Local and Wide Area Networking, Windows Servers and Virtualization, Remote Access / Remote Control solutions, VoIP telephony, and Mobile Device Management?

Do you have the confidence and patience to calmly assist and guide end-users and teammates through technical challenges?

Are you a self-motivated team player, with integrity and a strong work ethic?

If so, then you might be a good fit for the missing piece of our experienced IT Infrastructure Team.

The IT Infrastructure Security Analyst reports to the Information Technology Manager as a member of the IT Infrastructure Team. You will work closely with IT Infrastructure teammates to provide Networking/Telephony/Cybersecurity experience and support where needed or directed. You will interact with all levels of management and other ITW-FEG personnel. You must have patience, excellent interpersonal skills, strong ethics, and present a positive professional attitude.
