A highly successful Scottish logistics organisation, based in Glasgow, are looking for a Graduate Systems Analyst. We've worked with this company for several years now and have helped a number of their IT team join and heard great things first hand.
They are looking for an ambitious graduate with a passion for IT to join their onsite team and assist with the support and maintenance of their core business critical applications.
They're about to get started on a new in-house project where they will be updating their systems over the next 18 months to newer versions, whilst also continuing and undertaking new projects with their customers.
The role itself is a graduate position, so ideally you will have recently finished up at University in an IT related degree and have excelled in your studies to a 2:1 (or better). They will also consider someone with some relevant commercial experience, that is looking for a new challenge at a successful company within their market. However, they are committed to L&D, and are more than happy to help you get up to speed (no matter your experience), and hopefully within time help you to upskill into more senior roles.
Day-to-day, you will be working as part of the support team where you will carry out mostly 2nd line tasks to support both internal and external stakeholders. This relies heavily on your ability to keep on top of any tickets that come through and resolving issues where possible. They don't expect your skills to be overly advanced, so you will work closely with senior members of the team and escalate tickets as and when needed.
You will work closely with their applications and tools, and help to identify, develop and test their logistics systems. It's a really great opportunity for someone who wishes to work closely on the IT operations side of things, and gain exposure to a range of IT business practices.
Responsibilities:
** 2nd Line Support for Logistics Systems. ** Learn about company business and technical applications and tools. ** Liase with stakeholders to gather requirements for change. ** Developer and maintain Unix Shell scripts. ** Integrate internal and external systems. ** Produce logistics systems reports for stakeholders and document system changes in adherence to company standards.
Key Requirements:
** IT graduate to a 2:1 level or better. ** Understanding of Databases (Oracle or SQL). ** Knowledge of Unix/Linux with some Shell scripting experience. ** Knowledge of Logistics systems, ideally with some Systems Analysis and Application Support experience. ** Knowledge of report writing tools like iReports or Jaspersoft Studio. ** Excellent communication skills, combined with previous experience in a customer facing technical Service Desk environment ** Full UK Driver's license (occasional visits to other sites) - ESSENTIAL.
They are looking for someone who is willing to come in and really commit to upskilling their tech skills and transfer their knowledge from University into an IT position. Training is provided by them, however they have highlighted the importance of attitude and willingness to learn over experience.
Their offices are based on the outskirts of Glasgow, where they have parking available onsite. This role is a fully onsite position, so you'd be expected at their offices five days per week. In return, they are able to offer a salary of roughly £24k - £26k, on top of their benefits package.
They have a really streamlined interview process for this role, where you'd ideally pop into their offices to meet the team for an informal technical and culture chat to assess suitability, and will receive feedback shortly after - they're also hoping to get someone started in this role fairly quickly.
