  • Assist in ensuring a smooth and successful transition as Covia Energy establishes its standalone IT systems.
  • Quickly develop an organization structure for the IT team that meets the need of the standalone organization while remaining lean and nimble; lead the build-out of the IT organization.

  • Collaborate with business stakeholders, technical teams, and vendors to design, develop and implement solutions that align with organizational objectives.
  • Ensure high levels of reliability and performance in infrastructure and application design and management.
  • Assist with the development and implementation of information security and governance policies, procedures, and standards - ensuring they are adequate and operating effectively.
  • Lead in the investigation, mitigation, and resolution of information security incidents.
  • Establish, monitor, and analyze performance metrics and service level agreements to meet business needs.
  • Proactively identify areas for improvement, assess, and make recommendations accordingly.
  • Plan, direct, and lead initiatives for technology implementation supporting business objectives.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and effective disaster recovery capabilities.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to align IT strategies with business objectives.
The successful candidate will have the following Minimum Qualifications:
  • 7+ years management experience in a multisite enterprise environment; experience in industrial control systems preferred.
  • 10+ years hands-on experience troubleshooting and supporting complex network/systems environments.
  • Strong understanding of ITIL framework and experience with IT Service Management.
  • Experience supporting the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution for an organization; IFS (Covia's existing ERP system) experience strongly desired.
  • Extensive knowledge of Office 365, Microsoft Windows Server, Active Directory, Oracle/SQL database platforms.
  • Experience supporting virtualized server environments; proficiency with VMware preferred.
  • Proficient understanding of cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes.
