Job summary

XYZ Reality in Reading, Berkshire, is hiring a Systems Engineer to own the ERP replacement programme across production, quality and procurement. You will lead requirements, select a vendor, configure the system, migrate data from E-Max and stabilise post go-live, ensuring the platform scales with higher volumes and users.

This hybrid role requires on-site three days a week and reports to Procurement Manager.

Qualifications

• Experience implementing or migrating an ERP/MRP system in a manufacturing environment, ideally as internal owner.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing data structures: item masters, BOMs, routings, work orders, serialization and lot control.
• Data migration experience including extraction, cleansing, mapping and reconciliation.
• Advanced Excel essential; SQL, Power BI or equivalent desirable. Right to work in the UK without sponsorship.

Responsibilities

• Own the ERP replacement programme end to end — requirements gathering, vendor selection support, configuration, data migration from E-Max, testing, go-live and post-go-live stabilisation.
• Map how the business works today across goods-in, stores, build, test, despatch and returns; define the target process and data model and hold the line on requirements through configuration and go-live.
• Own purchasing, supplier and item-master data the Procurement function depends on; own integrations and data flows between ERP, finance, CRM and support systems including the Freshdesk RMA workflow.
• Implement serial-level traceability so component and build history is queryable for containment, warranty and field-failure investigation; own engineering change control and quality records under ISO 9001.
• Build and maintain the production reporting pack — yield, scrap, rework, throughput, stock accuracy and on-time despatch — turning data into insight the team can act on.
• Identify and deliver process automation and system improvement opportunities as production scales — eliminating manual re-keying, paper records and offline spreadsheets.
