IT Systems Engineer (ERP/EDI) - $95k - Des Plaines, IL - Hybrid

Our client is a long‑established industrial supplies distributor whose business runs on smooth, reliable EDI integrations tied directly into their Dynamics NAV environment. With a major upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central on the horizon, they're investing heavily in modernizing their EDI landscape-specifically, moving from SPS Commerce to Lanham EDI as their long-term strategic platform.

They're looking for an in‑house EDI Engineer who can take full ownership of this transition, optimize current processes, and elevate the overall application ecosystem.

Why This Role Matters

You won't just be supporting EDI-you'll be leading a major systems conversion that will shape the organization's digital operations for years to come. If you're someone who enjoys improving processes, modernizing integrations, and having a real voice in technical direction, this is that role.

Your New Role

As the EDI Engineer / Applications Admin, you will:

EDI Ownership & Modernization

* Lead the transition from SPS Commerce to Lanham EDI, including design, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, and long-term optimization.
* Manage the current EDI environment (TrueCommerce) while mapping out and executing the move to BC + Lanham.
* Design and maintain EDI maps that translate data accurately across multiple trading partners and internal systems.
* Ensure full compliance with X12 standards across key documents (850, 810, 856, 855, 812, 820, 997, etc.).

Daily EDI & Systems Management

* Process daily EDI transactions and quickly resolve any errors or failures.
* Collaborate closely with Customer Service and trading partners to resolve order or integration discrepancies.
* Maintain secure and compliant communication protocols (AS2, FTP/SFTP, VAN, MQ).
* Prepare and maintain EDI-related database components.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

* Document business processes and identify opportunities to streamline or automate.
* Provide training and documentation to internal teams as needed.
* Support additional integrated applications (WMS, E‑commerce, Power BI, E‑Ship, etc.).

Continuous Improvement

* Proactively recommend process enhancements-both technical and operational-to increase efficiency and reduce errors.
* Contribute to the overall roadmap for the upcoming Business Central upgrade.

What You'll Need

* 3+ years of hands-on EDI experience (configuration, mapping, setup, troubleshooting).
* Required: Experience with Dynamics NAV, Navision, or Business Central.
* Strong background with EDI implementation and integration projects.
* Solid understanding of AS2, FTP/SFTP, VAN, or similar communication protocols.
* Ability to partner effectively with non-technical users and solve both short-term issues and long-term systemic challenges.
* Bonus experience: WMS, Power BI, E‑Ship, or related supply-chain tools.

What You'll Receive

* $80-95k base salary
* Excellent medical benefits
* 401(k) with company match
* Generous PTO
* A collaborative culture with strong work/life balance
* The ability to own a major EDI modernization initiative
* Growth potential as the company moves into D365 Business Central
