About our company:

About our team:
In a complex and challenging environment, our ability to meet the needs of our internal and external customers through innovation, adaptability and efficient use of resources is critical. The IT 3rd Shift Systems Operator plays an important role in preparing our JD Edwards manufacturing software for the next day’s production. Early detection of a problem has a direct impact on the number of forklifts produced at our major manufacturing facilities in Greene, New York and Muscatine, Iowa.
The IT 3rd Shift Systems Operator primarily works alone while monitoring system progress on our iSeries. The submission of each program run during the shift has been outsourced, however monitoring the results is still a Raymond responsibility. There will be times when the role will transition from monitoring the programs to submitting the programs. There could be any number of reasons why the remote contractor cannot access our on-premises systems. On these rare occasions the 3rd Shift Systems Operator is our insurance policy, protecting our delivery commitments to our customers.
