## Description

Our client, an established international packaging manufacturer, is looking for a practical, proactive Site IT Manager to join its Bradford operation.

This is an opportunity to combine technical troubleshooting, infrastructure improvements and people leadership in a busy manufacturing environment. From supporting colleagues to keeping production technology running reliably, you will see the impact of your work every day.

With the support of regional and global IT colleagues, you will have local responsibility, a junior team member to develop and the opportunity to deputise for the Regional IT Manager.

The opportunity

You will take ownership of day-to-day IT and Operational Technology (OT) services at Bradford, working closely with production, engineering and the site's senior leadership team.

This will suit someone who enjoys being involved: investigating faults, working with servers and networks, helping users and delivering improvements. You will also travel to other sites, contributing to shared projects and providing support across the UK and Ireland.

Your responsibilities will include:

 * Keeping site IT infrastructure and production-related technology reliable, secure and available.
 * Providing hands-on support across Windows Server, VMware, Microsoft 365, Active Directory/Entra ID, endpoints and business applications.
 * Supporting and troubleshooting Cisco and Aruba networking, including connectivity across office and manufacturing environments.
 * Managing incidents, requests and priorities through ServiceNow, coordinating specialist support when required.
 * Working with engineering, production and external partners to support OT, industrial networks and connected manufacturing equipment.
 * Maintaining patching, backups, access controls, asset records and clear technical documentation.
 * Investigating recurring issues and implementing practical, lasting solutions.
 * Supervising and developing an Associate IT Administrator.
 * Delivering infrastructure upgrades, site migrations and regional IT projects.
 * Supporting procurement, budgeting and service improvements, and deputising for the Regional IT Manager when required.

What you will bring

You could already be an IT Manager, or an experienced senior infrastructure or support professional with leadership experience who is ready for broader responsibility.
