• Able to work 8:00 to 4:30 EST

WHO WE ARE
TCH Industries is an industrial distribution company in Northeast Ohio, USA specializing in hose assemblies, fluid power systems, and fluid dispensing equipment. We are executing an aggressive AI and data integration strategy across the entire business.
We run Microsoft 365, use Trulinx as our ERP, and have SQL Server as our database backbone. We are building our AI capabilities on Microsoft Copilot Studio as Phase 1, with additional AI platforms (including Claude by Anthropic) planned as the work matures.
This is not a maintenance role. You will be the first dedicated technical hire for this initiative — brought on to build something that does not exist yet in our industry.
