Apply NowFancy being a genuinely important part of a small IT team, rather than a small cog in a big one?
A well-established manufacturing business is investing heavily in its infrastructure - new servers, core network upgrades, structured cabling and a fresh wireless rollout over the next year - and needs a capable Systems Administrator to help make it happen.
You'll cover the lot: 1st to 3rd line support, day-to-day systems management, and hands-on project work. You'll look after core business systems including an ERP/MRP platform and document management, manage and patch server infrastructure, and get stuck into migrations and upgrades.
It's a varied, autonomous role for someone who can hit the ground running and take real ownership - not wait to be told what to do. You'll also get the chance to mentor junior engineers.
You'll need:
2–3 years+ in systems administration or IT infrastructure
Strong Windows Server, VMware/virtualisation, patching and networking
ERP/MRP experience (WinMan or similar) and a manufacturing background are a big plus
A full UK driving licence (travel to a second site - pool car available or mileage paid)
