The Opportunity
Reporting to the Lead Administrator, System, the MES Administrator is a senior technical authority responsible for overseeing the entire Manufacturing Execution System (MES) ecosystem across the Manufacturing Division. In this role, you will ensure the optimal performance, security, and scalability of MES infrastructure, while driving continuous improvement and strategic alignment with business objectives.
As the primary liaison between IT, operations, and business stakeholders, you will provide leadership in system governance, compliance, and innovation across our global manufacturing operations.
The Role
The Requirements
Education: University degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
Experience: 3+ years of overall experience in System Administration, including work with Textile Applications and industrial networks; no prior managerial experience required.
Technical Problem-Solving: Proven ability to resolve real-time manufacturing disruptions - unexpected downtime, latency, or degraded MES performance that can impact production schedules and KPIs - and to troubleshoot integration issues across ERP, PLC, SCADA, and other manufacturing or business systems that can cause production delays and reporting inaccuracies.
Decision-Making: Comfortable making high-stakes calls during unplanned outages - deciding between immediate failover, a temporary workaround, or emergency escalation - while minimizing impact on manufacturing operations, and prioritizing which updates, patches, or security fixes require immediate deployment versus scheduled maintenance.
Leadership: Experience mentoring technical staff (e.g., MES/Helpdesk Engineers) and serving as an escalation point and cross-functional liaison between IT, manufacturing operations, and business stakeholders.
