We focus on the Oil & Gas, Renewables, Engineering, Power, and Nuclear markets as well as emerging technologies in EV, Battery, and Fusion. We are committed to ensuring that we offer the most exciting career opportunities from around the world for our jobseekers.

This is a fully onsite role based in Lincon which is a standalone position, ideal for a seasoned IT professional who thrives on autonomy. While the title is IT Manager, the focus is hands‑on infrastructure engineering‑not people management. You'll be the go‑to expert responsible for maintaining and evolving the company's entire IT environment, from servers and networks to data security and user support.

The business is a well‑established manufacturer with global reach, and you'll be trusted to keep operations running smoothly, securely, and efficiently. If you're confident working solo, enjoy variety, and have a strong grounding in infrastructure, networking, and systems administration, this could be a great fit!

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing and securing all IT infrastructure, hardware, and data systems
• Monitoring system performance and ensuring continuity of service
• Defining IT strategy, architecture, and processes for continuous improvement
• Troubleshooting hardware/software issues and implementing effective solutions
• Overseeing IT budgets and maintaining the asset register
• Ensuring compliance with company and group IT policies
• Collaborating with group IT on rollouts and upgrades
• Installing and maintaining servers, networks, and wireless systems
• Supporting staff with IT needs, onboarding, and system access
• Leading IT projects to future‑prove infrastructure and security

What You’ll Bring

• 2-5 years’ experience in IT operations, ideally within manufacturing or industrial environments
• Proven success in rolling out IT infrastructure across diverse technologies
• Strong knowledge of systems administration, firewalls, VPNs, VOIP, and data storage
• Familiarity with licensing, compliance, and backup protocols
• Degree in IT, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• Cisco networking and/or Microsoft Core Infrastructure qualifications or demonstratable experience and understanding

Working Hours

Monday to Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm (37.5 hours/week)

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role in a business that values innovation, reliability, and continuous improvement. You'll be the go‑to expert for all things IT, with the autonomy to shape infrastructure strategy and the support of a collaborative team.
