Job description

Do you have a strong IT foundation and want to grow into the 4th Industrial Revolution by learning and implementing Industry 4.0 & IoT solutions? We are seeking a proactive IT Administrator to join a leading global automotive manufacturer.

This is a fast‑paced, safety‑critical environment where you'll play a key role in supporting IT systems and infrastructure both locally and with international teams.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage and maintain IT systems, networks, and infrastructure in a busy production environment.
  • Ensure compliance with SOX, audits, and internal controls.
  • Assist with MES/ERP integration and support (SAP or similar).
  • Implement and monitor backup, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity protocols.
  • Provide hands‑on support across the plant – cables, networking, servers, and troubleshooting.
  • Be on standby when required, with occasional after‑hours or night‑shift callouts.
  • Collaborate with international IT teams in Europe and report both locally and into global structures.
  • Act as IT lead—managing vendors, contractors, and future tech roadmap.
  • Support a shared services environment while being the go‑to IT contact on‑site.
Required Expertise
  • A tertiary qualification in IT or related (ideal but not a deal breaker).
  • CompTIA A+ and N+ (or equivalent).
  • Strong IT networking and troubleshooting skills.
  • Minimum 4 to 8 years' experience in a similar role.
  • Strong problem‑solving ability – quick thinker who thrives under pressure.
  • Hands‑on IT support background, preferably within the automotive manufacturing / industrial environments.
  • Willingness to work on‑site % of the time.
  • Ability to work independently without micromanagement.
  • Driver's license and own vehicle (for urgent callouts).
  • Dynamic, energetic individual – not deskbound, but actively present on the production floor.
