IT System Engineer - International Industrial Environment

As an IT System Engineer, do you want to do more than just keep systems running? Are you looking for a role where you have real ownership, help shape structure, security and standards, and make a visible impact in an international context?

Then this position in an industrial environment with strong Belgian roots might be your next step.

About the organization

• You will join an international industrial organization, firmly rooted in Belgium and operating across several European locations. Active in infrastructure and industrial activities, the company is known for its no-nonsense culture, strong technical expertise and long-term vision.

• The current IT environment is stable, but clearly in a transition phase: from a local and pragmatic setup towards increased structure, standardization and enterprise IT governance, with greater focus on security and compliance at European level.

• This creates an excellent opportunity for an IT professional who enjoys bringing structure, progress and sustainability.

As an IT System Engineer, you are responsible for the reliability, security and continuous evolution of the IT infrastructure. You work proactively and structurally, focusing on improvement and prevention rather than firefighting.

Your responsibilities include:

• Managing and optimizing the Windows Server environment
• Patch management and vulnerability management (e.g. Tanium, Qualys)
• Active involvement in IT security and compliance
• 2nd and 3rd line support for end users
• Incident analysis through root cause analysis and implementation of structural solutions
• Participation in IT projects (infrastructure, security, international roll-outs)

This role is not about “putting out fires”, but about building, standardizing and professionalizing the IT landscape.

Team & collaboration

You will be part of a small IT team (±3 people), which means:

• short communication lines,
• direct visibility of your impact,
• a high level of autonomy and trust.

You will also collaborate with internal stakeholders and international colleagues across Europe.

• 4-5 years of experience in IT infrastructure or system engineering
• Strong knowledge of Windows Server
• Experience with patching and vulnerability management
• Analytical mindset with a focus on root cause analysis
• Structured, process-oriented way of working, including documentation
• Hands-on mindset combining support and infrastructure

Languages

• Dutch or French as main working language
• Good command of the second national language
• English is required for international collaboration
