Mac Systems & AV Administrator Home

About Us

Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal School today occupies a wooded 59-acre campus where 880 students in Pre-K through 12th Grade share an excellent faculty, an inquiry-based curriculum, and a strong sense of community. The Upper School also includes a small boarding program of international and domestic students who live and learn together, enhancing the vibrancy of the school community. OES seeks and values employees who continually grow in their work practices. As an Episcopal school, we are rooted in a rhythm of gathering and reflection that values and respects all beliefs and cultures. We educate toward a larger purpose – toward inclusion and respect, service and justice, and commitment beyond ourselves.

About the Role

In an independent school, IT is highly relational. As part of our tight-knit, three-person IT team, you are not just a ticket-closer; you are a visible and valued member of a vibrant campus community. This role requires a unique balance. On the technical side, you will be the primary owner of our Mac fleet, utilizing Jamf Pro to manage device lifecycles, test deployments, and ensure seamless operation for our faculty and students. On the physical and community side, you are our lead for Audio/Visual campus events. This means stepping away from the screen to set up PA systems, troubleshoot projectors, run microphones, and occasionally help arrange spaces (like moving tables or chairs) to ensure school events go off without a hitch. Because we prioritize our people and educational workflows, we often make exceptions to standard IT processes. The ideal candidate will find this flexibility refreshing rather than frustrating, bringing a patient, low-ego, and problem-solving mindset to everything from complex MDM deployments to clearing a paper jam for a stressed teacher.

• Mac Administration & MDM (Jamf Pro)
  • Manage the complete lifecycle of our Mac fleet using Jamf Pro: receiving, tagging, registering, preparing, distributing, patching, and retiring equipment.

  • Collaborate with the IT Director and Systems Administrator on major technology infrastructure decisions.

  • Set up, maintain, and troubleshoot all installed and mobile AV equipment (microphones, PA speakers, projectors, Apple TVs).
  • Partner with facilities and other departments to ensure event spaces are fully prepared for presentations and gatherings.
• Help Desk & Community Support
  • Provide empathetic, face-to-face help desk support for students, teachers, and staff, smoothly handling walk-ins alongside ticketing system requests.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software issues for laptops, desktops, tablets, and peripherals.
  • Create and maintain clear internal documentation for the tech department.
  • Participate in all employee training, activities, and Technology department meetings.
• Infrastructure Backup
  • Act as a secondary support system to the Systems Administrator, gaining exposure to Wi-Fi maintenance, network configuration, Active Directory, phone systems, and campus security systems.

Requirements

• A demonstrated low-ego, service-oriented approach to IT, with the ability to context-switch between deep technical work and immediate user needs.
