ERP Systems Manager - Devon

ERP Systems Manager

The most modern enterprise resource planning suites are remarkable in their power, and it’s impossible for many businesses to imagine life without theirs. But with such power comes a non-negotiable need to keep it running smoothly and at its optimum performance levels. The ERP systems manager is there to ensure those requirements are met.

Specific responsibilities vary from business to business, sector to sector, but on the whole the ERP systems manager is there as a hands-on expert who can oversee installations, integrations, optimisation, upgrades, automation and all the other aspects of a well functioning ERP. Importantly, this all needs to be done with minimal or zero downtime, and if downtime is inevitable, it will be up to the ERP systems manager to plan and project manage

The skills required

The more experience you have running an ERP system, the more of an asset you will be to potential employers. Expertise in one particular system is often requested by employers who understand the diverse range available, but with so many similarities across providers, it may not be necessary, and training may be given if you can show an aptitude for working on multiple systems.

As a manager, you’ll be reporting to the directors, but also collaborating with other managers and heads of department to decide on appropriate plugins, installations and integrations, and then to implement them. You’ll also probably have a tech support role for users, particularly in small and medium operations.

ERP Systems Manager Jobs in Devon

Located in the south-west of England, with coastlines on the Bristol Channel, English Channel and the Celtic Sea, Devon shares a border with Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.

It is one of the largest counties in England and with settlements including Exeter, Dartmouth, Plymouth and Torbay, there are a number of ERP Systems Manager positions to be found in Devon.

Devon has been occupied by humans for many thousands of years. Indeed, human remains from as many as 40,000 years ago have been found in the region, while Romans and Anglo-Saxons also called the region home.

In the past, Devon's core industries included farming, fishing and mining, while the seaside resorts brought significant wealth to the area in their heydays.

These days, the region is still heavily reliant on agriculture and dairy, producing products like milk and cheese, as well as the famous Devonshire cream.

A number of well-known companies can be found in the area, including the Wrigley chewing gum company and Beverage Brands, which makes WKD vodka.

The Met Office is also located in Devon, as is the Britannia Royal Naval College and HNBP Devonport.
