Plant IT Coordinator – Lifecycle
Cognizant is looking for a experienced Plant IT Coordinator for lifecycle execution. You will be the on-site IT point of contact for plant lifecycle management: identifying IT/OT devices reaching end of life, planning the refresh with plant stakeholders, and physically executing it on the shop floor with minimal disruption to production
In This Role, You Will:
• Own the lifecycle plan for plant IT/OT devices and coordinate with plant operations, site management, vendors and regional IT
• Identify devices reaching end of life towards lifecycle
• Execute the refresh on site: device replacement, imaging/configuration, cabling, testing, handover and decommission.
• Schedule work around production windows and coordinate downtime with plant teams
• Maintain accurate plant IT/OT asset inventory, network diagrams and technical documentation
• Follow OT cybersecurity, local plant safety and PPE requirements at all times
• Travel by car to other sites when required
What You Need to Have to Be Considered
• 5+ years of overall IT experience (infrastructure, end-user/field support or similar)
• Minimum 2 years working in a manufacturing/plant environment in an IT, OT or automation support role
• Hands-on, field-based experience: comfortable working on the shop floor, in production areas and in a PPE environment
• Based in or near one of the plant locations (or willing to be on site daily)
• Willingness to complete plant safety training and medical fitness checks before starting
These Will Help You Stand Out
• Asset management/lifecycle or hardware refresh project experience
• Exposure to MES/MOM, SCADA or PLC environments (Siemens, Rockwell, AVEVA, etc.)
• Knowledge of OT/IT architecture, ISA-95, IEC 62443
• ITIL or service management knowledge
