This is a pivotal role focused on strategic IT leadership and transformation, not day-to-day technical support (which is managed by an external MSP). The successful candidate will work across departments — including Sales, Projects, Design, Finance, and Operations — to ensure that technology effectively enables and supports the company's growth trajectory.

The primary responsibility in the first 18 months will be to lead the selection and end-to-end implementation of a new company-wide ERP system, driving digital transformation, improving business processes, and enabling scalable operations.

Main Duties & Responsibilities

• Define project timelines, resource plans, milestones, and manage progress to ensure delivery on time and within budget.
• Collaborate across departments to map and improve business processes within the ERP framework.
• Drive user adoption and change management to ensure smooth transition and sustained value from the ERP system.
• Identify other digital tools and platforms that can streamline operations and scale with business needs.

IT Strategy & Business Alignment

• Define and implement an IT roadmap that supports commercial, operational, and field-based teams.
• Align IT initiatives with business objectives, departmental priorities, and growth plans.
• Advise senior leadership on technology trends, risks, and innovation opportunities.
• Manage the relationship with the Managed Service Provider (MSP), ensuring service levels are met and issues are escalated and resolved effectively.
• Oversee third-party software and technology vendors.
• Lead procurement and license management for hardware, software, and telecoms assets.

Infrastructure & Systems Oversight

• Ensure reliability and performance of core infrastructure — including network, cloud platforms, file storage, and mobile access.
• Oversee integration between the ERP and other business-critical systems
• Support mobile workforce enablement through secure and efficient connectivity.

Cybersecurity & Compliance

• Own and maintain IT security policies and promote cyber awareness throughout the business.
• Ensure compliance with GDPR, ISO (if applicable), and client-specific data-handling requirements.
• Oversee backup strategies, business continuity planning, and disaster recovery capabilities.

Person Specification

Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field
• ITIL, PRINCE2, or other relevant IT service/project management certifications
• Full clean driver's license and willingness to travel nationally/internationally as required
• Must be eligible to work in the Republic of Ireland

Experience, Skills & Knowledge

• Minimum 5 years in a senior IT role, ideally within construction, manufacturing, or a project-based environment
• Demonstrable experience managing full ERP implementation projects (vendor selection to go-live)
• Experience managing outsourced IT providers and vendor contracts
• Experience supporting hybrid or multi-site organisations
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure, and remote access tools
• Proven ability to deliver IT and digital transformation projects on time and within budget
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity best practices and data protection compliance
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills across all levels of the business
• Strong decision-making and analytical capabilities
• Highly motivated and self-driven, with strong planning and organisational skills
