Provide hands-on support for manufacturing IT assets including automated test equipment, label printers, handheld/PDA scanners and other shop-floor devices, minimising downtime and protecting production output. Act as the first responder for all IT issues during the plant’s start-up phase – troubleshooting hardware and software, provisioning users, configuring networks and escalating to global IT where appropriate. Implement and maintain IT security, data protection and compliance controls in line with corporate policy, covering endpoint security, user access management, backups and disaster recovery. Manage local IT vendors, telecommunications providers and managed service partners, owning the site IT budget, capital plan and asset lifecycle. Recruit, develop and lead the local IT team as the site grows – building a sustainable support capability and establishing processes that scale with the plant. Qualifications Proven hands-on experience administering the Microsoft stack (Microsoft 365, Azure AD, Intune, Windows Server and networking fundamentals) in a business-critical environment; exposure to SAP S/4HANA support is beneficial. Direct experience of IT in a manufacturing or industrial setting – including shop-floor device support (automated test systems, label printers, barcode/PDA scanners) and a practical understanding of OT/IT integration. A track record of operating effectively as a standalone IT lead while planning for growth, with demonstrable experience recruiting, developing and managing a local IT team. Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with fluent English, comfortable representing site IT to both plant leadership and global stakeholders. Experience of building a high functioning IT team, and managing service delivery levels to identify opportunities to improve performance or service offerings. Awareness of Cyber Security best practice, and ability to review and investigate security alerts through to resolution. Additional Information We are establishing a new manufacturing plant in Malaysia and are seeking our first on-site IT Manager to lead the technology set-up, deliver day-to-day support and build the local IT function as the site scales. In the early months this is a deeply hands-on role – you will be the person standing up the network, configuring laptops, onboarding users onto our Microsoft 365 tenant alongside global IT, and getting the S/4HANA-connected shop-floor tooling working reliably. As the plant ramps up, the focus will shift toward team building, service management and longer-term IT strategy for the site. You will report into global/regional IT, working in close partnership with the Malaysia Plant Manager and functional leaders on site. Department: Business Systems
