They are looking for someone who is willing to come in and really commit to upskilling their tech skills and transfer their knowledge from University into an IT position. Training is provided by them; however, they have highlighted the importance of attitude and willingness to learn over experience. ## Description A highly successful Scottish logistics organisation, based near Glasgow, are looking for a Graduate Systems Analyst. We've worked with this company for several years now and have helped a number of their IT team join and heard great things first hand. They are looking for an ambitious graduate with a passion for IT to join their onsite team and assist with the support and maintenance of their core business critical applications. The role itself is a graduate position, so ideally you will have recently finished up at University in an IT related degree and have excelled in your studies to a 2:1 (or better). They will also consider someone with some relevant commercial experience, that is looking for a new challenge at a successful company within their market. However, they are committed to L&D and are more than happy to help you get up to speed (no matter your experience), and hopefully within time help you to upskill into more senior roles. Day-to-day, you will be working as part of the support team where you will carry out mostly 2nd line tasks to support both internal and external stakeholders. This relies heavily on your ability to keep on top of any tickets that come through and resolving issues where possible. They don't expect your skills to be overly advanced, so you will work closely with senior members of the team and escalate tickets as and when needed. You will work closely with their applications and tools, and help to identify, develop and test their logistics systems. It's a really great opportunity for someone who wishes to work closely on the IT operations side of things, and gain exposure to a range of IT business practices. Responsibilities: ** 2nd Line Support for Logistics Systems. ** Learn about company business and technical applications and tools. ** Liase with stakeholders to gather requirements for change. ** Developer and maintain Unix Shell scripts. ** Integrate internal and external systems. ** Produce logistics systems reports for stakeholders and document system changes in adherence to company standards. ## Related Videos - [Old tools, new tricks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1916-old-tools-new-tricks) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [MCP doesn’t suck — your agent does](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100202-mcp-doesn-t-suck-your-agent-does) - [Skills-First Hiring: The Future of Work Needs More Than Resumes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1319-skills-first-hiring-the-future-of-work-needs-more-than-resumes) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Quick guide: How to write a Software Developer CV](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/37-quick-guide-how-to-write-a-software-developer-cv) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk)
