We are a manufacturing company providing custom engineered process and electrical equipment for the energy industry, utility, and mission critical sectors, and are looking for a strong Epicor 10 Techno Functional Analyst based out of our Price, Ut facility…(there now we’ve got the boring part out let’s get down to the nitty gritty)
You::Why are you putting this spammy crap in the forum, if I wanted this $#!+ I’d cruise LinkedIn?
US: Sorry-not looking to waste your time. We’re just trying to make sure we come directly to where the talent is before we have to engage the schwarmy recruiters who’ll start contacting you on our behalf, probably misleading you about who we are, costing everybody a bunch of time and $.
You: Cool, so what are you looking for?
US: Somebody awesome…specifically deep knowledge of BPM’s, SSRS in E10. C#.Net. You’ve got the technical Epicor chops, but can smile and handle the beautiful humanity that is user support and the sometimes associated inane, dumb, and just downright puzzling. Here’s some more specifics if job descriptions/postings are your secret passion
You: Sounds fun, I like moving my family across the country based on random internet forum postings… wait a second where the F#$+ is Price, Utah…(searches maps.google.com), aww hell NO. Do they even have real beer in Utah?
US: Fair enough… hear us out though. Truth be told, you’re right on the beer. You have to buy it at a state run liquor store, it sucks, the bureaucracy is mind numbing, you get used to it. Now on to Price, Utah. (google search…crap never mind. Somebody put the most desolate dead main street photo possible as the Price, UT Wikipedia page…WTF!)…
Google image search instead… “The Wedge, San Rafeal Swell”, “Manti La Sal National Forest”, “9 Mile Canyon”. Pretty right! All that stuff is within a half hour to 45 minutes. Look, Price is any other rural small town in the west when it comes to amenities. It doesn’t have a Chipolte, or a 5 star restaurant, or a mall. You wanna go see the opera? Sorry, the local high school does a killer musical every few years though, and you’ve got Culture Connections every Thursday at the Peace Gardens on main street during the summer with some pretty strong local talent. Here’s the upshot though, all the culture, all the big city, all the shopping you might want; is just an hour drive away up in the Provo/Salt Lake City valley. Go take a weekend trip up north to see Hamilton, but then remember to breathe deeply in the smog, fight the traffic, and wonder why anybody would pay $400K for a 3 bedroom that is close enough to your neighbor to hear them fart loudly through the gap between your homes, while wondering if their delinquent kids are teaching yours how to crack the parental locks on their cell phones.
Price, Utah: For all it lacks in big city living, it more than makes up for in affordable housing. (sexy I know). But wait there’s more. Your commute will be no longer than 10-12 minutes max. You will actually know your neighbor’s name and there’s a at least a 60% chance that you’ll like them! You will have crisp clean air to breathe, a relatively comfortable climate, and most importantly if you’re into it, access to some of the best hunting, fishing, mountain biking, camping, and outdoor living in the nation. In ten minutes from town you can be on top of a beautiful mesa calculating Pi to the 34th digit, without a soul around for miles. Price, Utah is the Freedom that you were told about but never imagined really existed.
You: Beautiful! Magnificent! I can almost taste the near beer (3.2%) I’ve bought from the stop n shop because the liquor store was closed while I contemplate the vista of my dreams and breathe deeply knowing that my children are riding bikes in the cul de sac back home with my upstanding neighbor’s children as I revel in my increased happiness because I no longer have to contemplate everyday how my mortgage payment along with the rising cost of secondary education is slowly sapping my life force, forcing me to calculate the risk/rewards of buying the farm for the life insurance benefit of my children and partner. (dark…I know) Wait a second, who is this company I should work for?
US: 1st things 1st…our health insurance=awesome. Just in case that depressive episode was more than just humor. We are Intermountain Electronics, and we’ve been around for 30+ years. We have 4 manufacturing facilities nationwide, and have been continuously growing for years. We have goals to be a $500M company 2030 and we’re on track to get there as we continue to diversify into new markets. We’ve been on Epicor for 9+ years, but just switched to E10 v blah blah blah this Thanksgiving of 18’. We’ve got career growth opportunity, but also stability. (Only 1 layoff in our 30+ year history).
Look, we know we aren’t Miami. We aren’t Houston. Yet we are what we are, and we are proud! We won’t be a good option for everybody (in fact probably not many)…but…we are a GREAT option if you want a career with growth potential with a company that will know your name, in a town where you’ll know everybody else’s.
Seriously, you drive by towns like us all the time on your vacation, and you and your partner in a rare moment of quiet while your children are lost in their Ipads remark to each other, "Wow this place is beautiful, wouldn’t it be awesome if we could live here?..I know but a town like this will never have a company that needs an Epicor 10 badass like myself…it’s just a dream. Dammit Tommy, I said enough $%^# “Baby Shark”
The dream is real… Apply at the posting in the link above, or contact Alan Mackiewicz (alan.mackiewicz@ie-corp.com)
And ultimately if this isn’t you, but you know somebody it is, please share and play it forward. Much love—Intermountain Electronics.
