Job description

Systems Engineer - PLM, MRP, MES & Enterprise Applications

Fareham · Hybrid after probation (Hybrid, 3 days onsite) · Salary £40,000

The role

Our client design and build advanced maritime technology for defence customers, and the business systems behind that work matter as much as the boats. We are hiring a Business Systems Engineer to join the Business Systems Team within IT & Security and look after their full portfolio of business systems: PLM, MRP, MES, project and work management, finance, HR, reporting and collaboration platforms.

The job to be done is clear: build and refine our systems around the way the business actually works, and make the tools we already have work as well as they can. You will administer and improve the systems that engineering, production, procurement, project management and corporate teams rely on every day, with business leads across the company as your customers. There is an element of end-user support and administration, but the emphasis is on improvement rather than ticket-taking.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting teams across the business in getting the most from key systems, with training, documentation and day-to-day help
• Administering and maintaining business applications so they stay reliable, secure and accurate; troubleshooting, coordinating upgrades and managing software vendors and support partners
• Defining and implementing best practice, approval workflows, access controls and change management
• Partnering with engineering, project management, procurement, production and corporate stakeholders to improve data quality, integration and process consistency between systems
• Identifying, assessing and prioritising improvements, integrations and automation opportunities against business need and technical constraints
• Contributing to continuous improvement and business-wide digital collaboration while upholding data, security and compliance standards

What we’re looking for

• Hands-on experience administering and configuring Jira (essential)
• Recent, hands-on experience administering, supporting or improving business-critical software platforms
• Background in a technical product development, manufacturing or similarly complex operational environment
• Strong grasp of business processes, system governance, data structures and workflows, including approvals, access control and change management
• Ability to analyse requirements, balance competing priorities and turn business needs into practical system improvements
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, comfortable treating business leads as your customers

Nice to have

• Experience with Teamcenter or another PLM platform, Siemens NX, 123 Insight or another MRP system, Visual Factory, or Microsoft 365 applications
• Integrating systems, automating workflows, reporting on data or configuring business applications
• Work across the whole business systems estate, not one platform
• Salary of £40,000
• Flexi-time hours
• Enhanced company pension contribution
• A forward-thinking technology environment directly supporting the delivery of complex maritime and defence capability
• Hybrid working: up to two days a week remote,
