Job description

IT & Infrastructure Lead

Location: Melton, East Yorkshire

Salary: Up to £55,000

Permanent Site-based

We re recruiting an IT & Infrastructure Lead for an established and growing operational business based in Melton, East Yorkshire.

This is a newly defined, site-based role offering genuine ownership of the local IT environment. You ll become the key technical point of contact on site, working closely with an established managed service provider and wider Group IT teams to ensure infrastructure, systems and end-user technology remain secure, reliable and fit for purpose.

It would suit an experienced Infrastructure Engineer, Senior IT Engineer, Site IT Lead or Infrastructure Lead who enjoys being hands-on but is ready for greater ownership and autonomy.

The role

• Supporting and maintaining servers, networks, Wi-Fi, switches and site connectivity
• Microsoft 365 administration and end-user technology
• Managing laptops, tablets, phones and other IT assets throughout their lifecycle
• Acting as the on-site technical point of contact when infrastructure or connectivity issues arise
• Working with the external MSP to troubleshoot issues, manage incidents and coordinate technical projects
• Building stronger processes around asset management, hardware replacement and IT documentation
• Supporting implementation of Group IT, cyber security and technology standards
• Identifying infrastructure risks and improvement opportunities before they become operational problems
• Providing practical first and second-line support where physical intervention is required

The site also operates a range of automated and operational technologies, so you ll work aroundSCADA and other industrial systems, helping diagnose infrastructure or connectivity issues and coordinating specialist support where necessary.

You will not be expected to be a controls engineer or PLC programmer.

What we're looking for

We re interested in people with a strong background in IT infrastructure and networking, ideally gained within a manufacturing, engineering, logistics, processing, energy or similarly operational environment.

• Windows and Microsoft 365 environments
• Networking, LAN, Wi-Fi, VLANs and TCP/IP
• Servers and physical infrastructure
• Endpoint and device management
• IT asset and hardware lifecycle management
• Working with managed service providers or external IT partners
• Infrastructure troubleshooting and technical project coordination

Exposure to SCADA, operational technology, industrial networks or manufacturing systems would be particularly useful, but deep OT expertise is not essential.

More important is the ability to understand a broad technology environment, take ownership of problems and work effectively with both technical specialists and non-technical stakeholders.

Why consider it?

This is not a traditional helpdesk position.

You ll have the opportunity to become the main technology lead for the site, bringing greater structure and ownership to an environment that has become increasingly dependent on technology as the business has grown.

You ll also gain exposure to a wider international Group IT environment, providing an attractive combination of local autonomy, hands-on technical work and broader development opportunity.

The position is site-based in Melton, reflecting the practical nature of the role and the importance of having a technically capable person embedded within the operation.

Salary: up to £55,000, dependent on experience and overall technical capability.
