[geeks] System Administrator Opportunity - Neenah, Wisconsin

[Brian Dunbar]

We've got two openings at work for System Administrators.  The need is
critical, the boss said we gotta hire Real Soon and to ask around.
Feel free to forward.


Plexus is a contract electronics manufacturer - we make other people's
electronics.  Been in business since 1980.  Headquarters, operations
and data center are located in Neenah, Wisconsin, where we also have
several manufacturing sites.  Other sites are located in Chicago,
Juarez, Nampa, Fremont, Penang, Xiamen, Scotland and Romania.  We have
around 6,000 employees globally, 1,900 locally.


It's a great place to work.  I got here when a company I worked for
was acquired by Plexus.  When the economy tanked and that business
died, they relocated me from Texas to headquarters in Wisconsin and
gave me a better job working in ERP-land.  It's been ten years now so
I'm doing something right.

The positions have been described as 80% Solaris, 20% Windows.  Our
environment is: 120 Solaris hosts (global zones and containers)
possibly twice that many Windows Servers, a few odds and sods of
Linux.  We make extensive use of Active Directory for authentication,
NetAp NAS and SAN, Oracle, MS SQL, and a horde of specialized
manufacturing apps you've probably never heard of.

Normally we prefer to promote from within, but the growth we're doing
to support the business is not compatible with our current staff.  Too
much work, not enough bodies, not enough people who know Solaris to
bring up to speed in time.

Details from the website for the position, below.  If you send me your
resume and a cover letter I'll forward it to my supervisor.  If you
have questions, ask.
