  • Perform basic network and connectivity troubleshooting, including fiber optic cable diagnostics, escalating to the enterprise Network team as appropriate. 

  • Coordinate and assist with annual hardware refresh deployments on-site; support remote imaging and configuration processes defined by the EUX team. 

  • Maintain accurate inventory of all IT equipment located on-site. 

  • Administer and support local servers (virtual and physical), storage, switches, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and network cameras within OneCliffs standards.

  • Support specialized systems such as premises security (Avigilon), scale systems, conference room technologies, and other computer-controlled industrial equipment. 

  • Collaborate with existing and new vendors to support IT systems. 

  • Participate in technical research and development to enable continuing innovation within existing and new technologies. 

  • Perform work in accordance with Cliffs' best practices and policies. 

  • Contribute to the value of the entire working team through thoughtful discussion and collaboration. 

  • Work in close partnership with enterprise IT teams including EUX, Cybersecurity, Network, Server, and Telecom. 

  • Understand and participate in safety-related topics and actions; follow established plant-based and IT-related safety practices at all times. 

  • Provide off-hours support for critical incidents.
