Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company supplying critical minerals for modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. They are reimagining the minerals supply chain through advanced software, automation, and data-driven decision-making. This Senior Systems Administrator role is a foundational, builder-oriented position that takes primary ownership of hands-on systems administration, infrastructure implementation, and day-to-day user support across corporate, field, and industrial sites. The role frees the Senior IT Manager to focus on architecture, budget, and cross-organizational strategy. Key responsibilities include: - Administering Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and centralized authentication/SSO across corporate and field sites - Owning the technical layer of SharePoint including permissions, architecture, and governance - Managing user access, device provisioning, and onboarding/offboarding coordination with HR - Maintaining software and SaaS license management, renewals, entitlements, and cost optimization - Establishing end-to-end hardware lifecycle management across offices, pilot facilities, and field sites - Configuring and supporting routers, switches, firewalls, VPNs, and wireless networks in a multi-site environment - Building and documenting backup/disaster recovery plans, security controls, vulnerability management, incident response, and change management processes - Coordinating managed service providers and consultants - Serving as primary escalation point for complex user and site support issues - Developing help desk processes, documentation, and SLAs - Mentoring junior IT staff and building technical documentation The role requires approximately 25% travel to other offices and project sites. Core infrastructure capabilities are still being established, so this is a builder role rather than purely operational. Close coordination with Controls/OT engineering, Software Engineering, HR, and on-site stakeholders is essential.
