About This Role
This is a hands-on, ground-level IT support role within an industrial manufacturing environment. Unlike a tech company, you’ll be ensuring that production systems, office networks, and user devices run reliably in a steel factory setting. It suits a recent graduate or early-career professional who wants to build practical troubleshooting skills in a non-tech sector where IT is a support function, not the core business.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The listed degree fields indicate the employer expects foundational technical knowledge, but the real emphasis is on practical problem-solving and reliability. They are looking for someone who can handle day-to-day break-fix tasks, maintain system backups, and keep inventory — not a specialist in coding or architecture. The fact that four positions are open suggests a growing or expanding IT department, possibly with a shared workload across shifts or locations.
How to Approach This Application
In your CV and cover letter, highlight specific examples of hardware and network troubleshooting, even if from academic labs or internships. Mention any experience with system backup, antivirus software, or inventory management. Since this is a permanent role in a manufacturing company, emphasize dependability and a willingness to work in a non-office environment — steel plants can be dusty and noisy, so comfort with that setting is a plus.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for a junior IT professional seeking stable, long-term employment in a traditional industry rather than a fast-paced tech startup. Competition will be moderate, as the role offers clear entry-level opportunities without requiring advanced specialization.
