IT Engineer

C# Software Developer (with Networking & IT Systems exposure)

Location:

Wrexham, North Wales
Salary: £35,000 + excellent benefits

Our client is a leader in developing manufacturing tech and on their behalf we’re looking for a sharp, hands-on C# developer who loves building real-world applications that make a genuine difference on the factory floor and in the office.

This isn’t a typical “helpdesk” role. Yes, you’ll be the go-to person for the company’s IT systems, but the main focus is writing clean, maintainable code – primarily in C# .NET Core – to extend and improve the client's in-house manufacturing and business platforms. Networking and infrastructure are part of the mix (because everything you build has to talk to the real world), but they’re secondary to solid programming skills.

THE ROLE
 
Designing and building new features and tools in C# .NET Core (this is the bulk of the role)
Maintaining and enhancing our existing bespoke applications
Writing scripts and automation tools in Python/PHP when it makes sense
Occasional Laravel/PHP work on internal web tools
Helping keep the infrastructure running smoothly (Windows/Linux servers, Active Directory, VMware, Office 365, backups, Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi, Fortinet firewalls, etc.)
Configuring switches, firewalls, laptops, Raspberry Pis and label printers when needed
Supporting users (mostly remotely via Teams) – but this is light compared to the development work
Creating BI dashboards and playing with AI/automation ideas  YOU  
First and foremost: strong C# .NET Core skills – you enjoy writing code more than resetting passwords
Comfortable with modern development tools (Git Hub, VS Code, Jira, etc.)
Happy to touch infrastructure when required – you understand networking basics, Active Directory, servers, VMware, etc. (you don’t need to be a CCNA, just not scared of it)
Bonus points if you’ve worked with SQL Server, IIS, REST APIs, or have any manufacturing/warehouse exposure
Minimum HNC/HND or degree in Computer Science / Software Development (or equivalent experience)
1–2 years+ commercial programming experience (more is fine too)  Why you’ll love it here  
You get to own and shape real products used every day by hundreds of people
Proper variety – one day you’re adding a new feature in C#, the next you’re deploying a Raspberry Pi on the shop floor
Forward-thinking company that’s genuinely investing in digital transformation and AI
Small, friendly IT team – no corporate red tape
Great package: enhanced pension, private healthcare, heavily subsidised canteen, 25 days holiday + banks, hybrid flexibility  If you’re a C# developer who wants to stay close to the metal, see your code make an immediate impact, and doesn’t mind rolling up your sleeves on the occasional bit of networking or infrastructure, this could be perfect
