The Infrastructure Senior IT Engineer is a plant/site‑facing role that ensures reliable, secure, and well‑integrated plant IT infrastructure and supports IT/OT convergence at the location. The role provides on‑the‑ground technical leadership at the plant and serves as the extended hand of the global infrastructure team—acting as the local technical interface, accelerating execution, improving responsiveness, and ensuring consistent implementation of global infrastructure and security standards in the plant environment.

Working closely with global/regional Infrastructure teams and local stakeholders, the role maintains deep understanding of the local configuration, dependencies, and connectivity across networks, servers, core services, end‑user computing, and critical shopfloor/OT‑connected environments. In addition, this position leads and coordinates local infrastructure related initiatives and site readiness activities for global deployments, ensuring changes are delivered safely with minimal production disruption. The position reports into the Site IT manager of the site and/or plant.

• Plant IT Infrastructure Operations (Local Ownership & Coordination)
  • Maintain strong understanding of the site infrastructure landscape (LAN/WAN/Wi‑Fi, server/virtual environments, core services, backups, printing, end‑user compute) including local configurations, dependencies, and operational constraints.
  • Act as the site technical point of contact for infrastructure incidents and problems; coordinate diagnosis and resolution with central Infrastructure teams and service providers.
  • Support lifecycle activities at site (patching coordination, hardware refresh, capacity and performance monitoring, documentation/CMDB accuracy as applicable).
  • Ensure local execution and validation of backup/restore procedures for site‑relevant systems and services (in alignment with global standards and service owners).
  • Provide site ownership for end‑user computing (EUC) fundamentals: coordination of endpoint rollouts and refresh, local device standards adherence, collaboration/meeting room technology support, and escalation management with global workplace/EUC teams.
  • Support plant‑specific software solutions from an IT perspective (e.g., local manufacturing support tools, label/printing solutions, shopfloor data capture clients): manage infrastructure dependencies, connectivity, access, deployments, and coordination with application owners/vendors.
• IT/OT Convergence & OT‑Connected Environment Support
  • Partner with Automation/Engineering and OT owners to support OT‑connected systems (e.g., SCADA/MES interfaces, historians, engineering workstations) by understanding connectivity requirements, dependencies, and integration points to enterprise IT.
  • Help implement and sustain IT/OT network segmentation and secure connectivity in alignment with enterprise standards (e.g., zone/conduit principles, firewall rules coordination, remote access patterns).
  • Support risk assessments and change impact analysis for shopfloor/OT environments; ensure changes are planned to minimize production disruption.
• Local Project Leadership & Site Readiness
  • Lead or co‑lead local infrastructure projects (network upgrades, server/storage changes, site moves/expansions, industrial connectivity improvements) from scope definition through execution and handover.
