IT Support Technician
The Company
This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering and manufacturing business based in Weston-super-Mare.

This is a varied role covering both day-to-day support and project work, with exposure across infrastructure, systems, and business applications. You’ll be supporting both office users and shopfloor operations, so no two days will look the same.
It’s a great opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond a standard helpdesk role and get involved in wider IT systems and improvements.

* Getting involved in automation and process improvements
* Setting up hardware, new starters and internal moves
* Maintaining and improving documentation and IT processes
Security & Maintenance:
* Monitoring patching (Automox), antivirus (Check Point Harmony) and backups (Druva)
* Investigating issues and ensuring systems remain secure and up to date
Operational IT:
* Supporting networking, scanners and printers within a manufacturing environment
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in an IT support role or strong technical background
* Good knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Windows environments
* Basic networking knowledge (IP, DNS, DHCP)
* A proactive, hands-on approach
* Someone who enjoys variety and taking ownership
* Strong attention to detail, particularly around documentation
Desirable (Not Essential)
* ERP system experience
* Power BI or Power Automate exposure
* SQL knowledge
* VMware or server exposure
* Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
What You’ll Get
* A broad, hands-on role with exposure across multiple areas of IT
* A mix of support and project work
* Ongoing training and development opportunities
* A 9-day fortnight (every other Friday off)
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Company pension and life assurance
