Ideal Candidate 
The ideal candidate is a hands-on manufacturing IT professional who understands that, in a modern factory, ERP is part of the production infrastructure. This person should be equally comfortable investigating an incorrect SAP inventory transaction, troubleshooting an RFID tunnel, configuring a barcode printer, checking a network switch on the production floor, training a warehouse employee, or coordinating a
complex SAP issue with an external consultant.

Work Environment
Conditions: The manufacturing floor is typically noisy. Climates and seasons can determine a fluctuating temperature which leads to the floor being both very hot and cold.
