Technology Systems & Support Supervisor

School Health Corporation, Rolling Meadows, IL, United States


The Role
The Technology Systems & Support Supervisor owns the day-to-day operation and reliability of our server, network, and cloud infrastructure while directly leading a small helpdesk team. You'll be the person who can drop into a complex firewall issue in the morning and coach a team member through a tough support call in the afternoon. This is not a helpdesk manager role. And it's not a pure infrastructure engineer role. It's both! And that's exactly what makes it interesting.

You’ll report to the Business Systems & IT Operations Manager and play a key role in shaping how technology runs and improves across the organization.

What You’ll Do
On the infrastructure side, you’ll own it end to end:

Design, configure, administer, and secure Windows Server environments. Physical and virtual (VMware/Hyper‑V/Azure)

Manage network infrastructure including switches, routers, SonicWall firewalls, VLANs, VPNs, and wireless

Administer Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory/Entra ID, Intune MDM, Exchange Online, and SharePoint

Own backup and disaster recovery, including: testing, documentation, and integrity reporting

Plan and execute patching cycles and maintenance windows with minimal business disruption

Maintain security posture across endpoints, firewall rules, access controls, and incident response

On the team leadership side, you’ll be the person the helpdesk counts on:

Supervise, coach, and develop Helpdesk Analysts including performance feedback and career growth conversations

Ensure the team consistently meets service level objectives and response targets

Step in as the senior escalation point for complex or high‑priority incidents that require your level of expertise

Keep IT Operations Manager informed of recurring issues, risk areas, and improvement opportunities

And across both sides of the role:

Build and maintain technical documentation including runbooks, topologies, SOPs, and training materials

Identify and recommend technology solutions that align with business strategy

Participate in infrastructure and process improvement projects

Assist with budget planning, vendor renewals, and software licensing

What Success Looks Like

Infrastructure runs reliably & secure. Issues are caught early, patching is current, and backups are verified

The helpdesk team is supported, growing, and consistently hitting service level targets

Complex problems get solved - not just escalated or worked around

Documentation exists and stays accurate - the next person can pick up where you left off

You’re a trusted partner to both your team and the broader business — not just a ticket resolver

What We’re Looking For

5–7 years of progressive IT experience, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or team lead capacity

Hands‑on expertise in Windows Server, networking fundamentals, and Microsoft 365/Azure administration

Comfortable owning infrastructure and leading people

Strong troubleshooting instincts and comfort working through problems where the answer isn’t obvious

Clear, direct communicator who can translate technical issues for non‑technical stakeholders

Detail‑oriented and thorough, you follow through and verify your work

Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field; equivalent experience considered

ITIL Foundations certification recommended

Compensation
Salary Range: $62,006.50 – $96,015.48 annually

401(k) eligible

Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, and more)

PTO and paid holidays

Work Location & Requirements

On‑site role based in Rolling Meadows, IL

Occasional after‑hours maintenance windows are part of the job

Must be able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs
