About YASA

YASA, a Mercedes Benz group company, is leading the way in EV Motor Revolution with our patented and unique Axial Flux Technology. Our motor is more powerful, lighter, and smaller than our competitors. Our spirit of innovation drives us to continually explore and test new technologies, a mindset that exists from early-stage R&D projects through to manufacturing optimisation.

• Actively contribute to the IT continual service improvement ethos.

To succeed in this role, we believe you'll need:

• An open and positive character who is looking to learn new skills.
• Someone who is happy to take on new tasks but can ask for help when required.
• Experience of Microsoft Office, Windows and Active Directory.
• A basic understanding of networking concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS & DHCP.
• A basic understanding of virtualisation technologies and principles.
• An understanding of the importance of cybersecurity principles and their application.

Once established in post, you will be required to provide out-of-hours support on a rota basis.

Our mission is to lead the design and delivery of the best electric motor technology available. We believe that diversity of thought, and experience is a key driver of innovation. Research shows that while men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to only apply if they check all boxes. So if you think you have what it takes but don’t meet every single point, please still get in touch. We’d love to have an initial chat and see if you could add value.
