IT Systems Technologist
Birmingham
£50,000 - £55,000
Hybrid (3 days in the office)
This is an opportunity to join a well-established UK transport business at a pivotal point in its growth. Following a recent acquisition, the company is investing heavily in its internal IT function and building a new team to support the next phase of the business.
Rather than stepping into an environment where everything has already been decided, you'll have the opportunity to help shape how the infrastructure and systems function for years to come. Reporting directly to the Head of IT, you'll play a key role in supporting and developing the organisation's Microsoft, cloud and infrastructure estate while helping deliver projects that improve resilience, security and performance across the business.
What you'll be doing
Your time will be split between maintaining critical business systems and delivering improvements that modernise the IT environment.
