Full Job Description

We’re looking for an IT Software Development Administrator to join our team in the Bristol Design & Product Development (D&PD) office, part of the Ensera Group. Ensera has facilities in Europe, the USA, and Asia, as well as Design & Development hubs in Bristol, UK (where you’ll be based), and New Jersey and Colorado in the USA. In this role you’ll report directly to, and work alongside, the Head of IT to provide ongoing IT support to the Ensera Design business, with a particular focus on supporting software and hardware development teams. You’ll take ownership of the development toolset and environments, ensuring they are secure, efficient, and fit for purpose, while also contributing to wider group IT projects as needed. Occasional travel to other Ensera locations, including Ireland, Poland, and the USA, may be required and some projects could involve evening or weekend work. ## Requirements About you This role sits at the intersection of IT operations and software development, so you’ll be comfortable working across both areas.

You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues and are confident explaining systems, processes, and decisions when needed, including during audits or reviews. You can balance day-to-day IT support with longer-term development environment improvements, maintaining a structured and organised approach with strong attention to detail, particularly in documentation and security. Essential skills and experience Experience in one or more of the following: · Software development (commercial or personal projects), or IT support within a software or engineering environment · Working knowledge of the softwa
