The position
As our (Senior) IT System Manager, you will influence our current and future production facilities with robust IT solutions. You'll work independently and with diverse professionals to ensure resilient production facilities for various products like resins, enzymes, and packaging. Your responsibilities include maintaining compliant IT and OT documentation, leading projects, and collaborating with process, engineering, and manufacturing stakeholders to design and test automation solutions for our future facility.

Your responsibilities will be to:

• Maintain the lifecycle, drive changes and support day-to-day operations through incident management.
• Maintain up-to-date and compliant documentation for IT solutions, adhering to both internal and external requirements.
• Address various documentation aspects, including risk assessments, requirement specifications, validation, and test documentation, as well as periodic reporting.
• Play a pivotal role in projects, ensuring compliant IT setups, leveraging your current experience for effective implementation.
• Be a partner to management in developing a robust manufacturing set up for the company.
