and associated cloud services supporting HME’s mining solutions.

• Implement and enforce IT security protocols aligned with best practices for

industrial and cloud-based systems.

• Conduct routine system audits, software updates, performance tuning, and

vulnerability assessments.

• Support business continuity and disaster recovery planning, including

automated backup and restoration procedures.

• Collaborate closely with development, operations, and engineering teams to

international time zones.

• Maintain asset inventories, license tracking, and compliance logs.

• Coordinate and support third-party IT and security audits.

• Support cybersecurity initiatives, including endpoint protection, vulnerability

scanning, and zero-trust network configurations.

• Participate in cross-team planning for infrastructure scale-up in new regions or

mining deployments. Required Skills & Qualifications

• Minimum of 10 years’ experience in IT systems administration or infrastructure

roles, preferably in industrial or technology-driven environments.

• Proven expertise in Linux server administration (Red Hat, CentOS, Ubuntu).

• Strong working knowledge of Docker, container orchestration, and CI/CD

pipelines.

• Experience managing virtual environments and enterprise-grade Office 365

environments.

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Ansible.

• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana,

Zabbix).

• Proven ability to work across hybrid networks (LAN/WAN/cloud + field/edge

hardware environments).

Preferred Experience

• Background in mining, construction, industrial automation, or other field-based

industries with critical infrastructure.

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related

technical discipline.

• Industry certifications such as RHCE, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator,

Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert, or similar credentials.

• Experience in supporting infrastructure for mining operations, real-time data

platforms, or telemetry systems will be highly regarded.

• Experience in edge computing, industrial IoT, or telemetry-driven architecture.

• Working knowledge of ISO 27001, SOC 2, or NIST cybersecurity standards.

• Experience with incident response planning and security event log correlation.

• Background supporting DevOps or SRE environments is an advantage.
