Our clients company is one of Ireland’s leading automotive groups, representing world-class brands. Behind the showroom floor and the satisfied customers is a lean, sharp IT team keeping everything humming — and they’re growing.
The Opportunity
Our clients company is on the hunt for an IT Systems Administrator who genuinely loves what they do. Not someone who just logs tickets and waits for five o’clock — we want someone who sees a repetitive manual task and immediately thinks “I could write a script for that.”
You’ll work directly with the Group IT Manager, supporting staff across multiple sites with everything from day-to-day helpdesk queries to infrastructure administration and automation projects. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly the point.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Owning the helpdesk — triaging, resolving, and closing tickets in Freshservice with speed and precision. Users will know your name, and it won’t be because things are broken.
- Automating the boring stuff — if you’re not reaching for PowerShell on a regular basis, we’ll be disappointed. Scripting, scheduling, automating — this is a core part of the role, not a nice-to-have.
- Keeping the network healthy — working with our Cisco Meraki routers, Aruba switches, and VLAN infrastructure to ensure everything stays fast, segmented, and secure.
- Managing the Microsoft 365 stack — Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and Entra ID — you’ll know your way around the admin portals with your eyes half-closed.
- Onboarding & offboarding — provisioning new starters and cleanly decommissioning leavers, making sure nothing gets missed. Every. Single. Time.
- Keeping endpoints secure — managing our endpoint security platform across the estate and staying ahead of threats before they become incidents.
- Supporting communications — our clients IP PBX system powers voice across the group, and you’ll be comfortable administering it.
- Mail and security — our clients email security gateway is in your toolkit; you’ll manage policies, review quarantine, and keep inboxes clean.
- Supporting dealer systems — Keyloop DMS and other proprietary platforms are part of life here. You’ll learn them, support them, and not be fazed by them.
- Remote support — you’ll use our remote support tooling to resolve issues quickly without needing to be on-site for everything.
- Time & Attendance — supporting our clients Workflow Cloud system and keeping it ticking along for HR and payroll.
- Travelling between sites — located in Galway, Ballina, Sligo, and Letterkenny. A full, clean driving license is essential.
The Tech You’ll Be Working With
Cisco Meraki · Aruba Switches · VLANs · Windows Server · Active Directory / Entra ID · Microsoft 365 · MS Teams · PowerShell · IP PBX / Telephony · Email Security Gateway · Freshservice · Keyloop DMS · Workflow Cloud · Endpoint Security Platform · Remote Support Tooling
What We’re Looking For
- Attention to detail that borders on obsessive. Seriously — this is non-negotiable. The kind of person who double-checks their own work before anyone else has to.
- A genuine passion for IT — not just as a job, but as something you tinker with, read about, and actually enjoy.
- PowerShell skills (or the drive and ability to get there fast). Bonus points if you have scripts you’re proud of.
- Solid networking fundamentals — routing, switching, VLANs, DNS, DHCP.
- Experience with Windows Server and Active Directory administration.
- Good communicator — you can explain a technical issue to a non-technical person without making them feel dumb.
- Self-motivated and comfortable figuring things out independently. We want a problem-solver, not someone who waits to be told what to do.
- Experience with or willingness to learn automotive dealer systems (Keyloop experience is a bonus but not required).
- A relevant qualification in IT or equivalent hands-on experience — we care more about what you can do than what’s on paper.
- Full, clean driving license.
Why Join Our Client?
- A role with real variety — infrastructure, helpdesk, automation, communications, and more.
- You’ll actually be trusted to get on with things and make decisions.
- Room to grow within a well-established Irish business that’s investing in its IT capability.
- A supportive team environment where knowledge-sharing is encouraged.
If you’re the kind of person who automates things just because you can, reads tech blogs for fun, and gets a little annoyed when something isn’t done right — we’d love to hear from you.
