Want a career where tech meets real‑world manufacturing - not just screens and spreadsheets? This is a hands‑on graduate role based at a leading manufacturing plant for an iconic global brand in Birmingham. You'll be on site every day, learning how large‑scale systems actually run, supported by a friendly team who expect you to ask questions, learn fast, and grow into the role.This is a starter role with a future - designed to help you build confidence, experience, and direction in IT and systems within an automotive manufacturing environment.

🌱 What you'll learn on the jobYou don't need to know all of this yet - that's the point. You'll be trained and supported while learning how to:

Support and improve business and IT systems used on a live manufacturing site
Understand how incidents, problems, and system changes are handled in the real world
Get involved in small projects and change releases
Use reporting and tracking to understand what's working (and what isn't)
Learn IT service management (ITIL / ITSM) in both Agile and Waterfall environments
Work with tools like Confluence, MS tools (including AI), and service dashboards
Get exposure to SQL, testing, and data analysis
Take part in workshops and collaborate with teams across the siteThis is practical, hands‑on learning - not classroom theory.

🎓 Who this is perfect forThis role is ideal if you're a graduate or early‑career professional (0-2 years' experience) who wants to build a career, not just get a job.You'll suit this role if you:

Have (or are finishing) a degree in something like:
Mechanical, Automotive, or Manufacturing Engineering
Business Analysis or Project Management
Information Systems, IT, Data, or Engineering‑related subjects
Are curious and comfortable asking questions
Communicate well and enjoy working with people
Want to understand how systems support real‑world operations
Are keen to be on site, learn fast, and build strong foundations👉 Attitude, communication, curiosity, and willingness to learn matter more than experience.

🚫 What this role is notTo be clear (and fair), this role is not:

A senior, specialist, or expert‑level IT role
A role for experienced developers, architects, or consultants
A remote or hybrid position (you'll be on site to learn properly)
A role where you're expected to already know everythingIf you have several years of experience and are looking for autonomy from day one, this role likely won't be the right fit.

🏭 The environment & progression

Fully on‑site in Birmingham (5 days per week)
Friendly, down‑to‑earth manufacturing environment
Lots of support, mentoring, and learning time built in
Clear progression toward more specialist IT, systems, or analysis rolesIf you're early in your career and want to learn how tech really works inside a major manufacturing operation, this is a brilliant place to start.
