Richards Bay: Systems Analyst posted by Sharon Nurock Recruitment cc

This is a hands-on role that demands initiative, adaptability, and a sharp eye for detail. You’ll need to balance urgent support requests with long-term development, troubleshoot under pressure, and collaborate with demanding but rewarding business stakeholders.
 
What You’ll Do:

• Perform system analysis, design, and software development in C#.
• Build, maintain, and optimise SQL databases (tables, keys, indexes, replication, log shipping).
• Program stored procedures, SQL views, and SAP RFCs.
• Develop reports and data extracts (SQL Reporting Services, LIMS, PLCs, weighbridge interfaces).
• Configure and manage TFS Team Foundation Server.
• Compile and conduct unit testing and user training.
• Produce accurate technical documentation and follow change-control procedures.
• Support in-house developed systems, ensuring audit and compliance standards are met. 

What We’re Looking For:

• Degree/Diploma in Information Technology.
• 5+ years’ experience as a Software Developer (C# essential).
• 3+ years’ SQL database design & reporting experience.
• 2+ years as a Systems Analyst.
• Strong understanding of IT System Development Life Cycle.
• Manufacturing or production environment experience advantageous.
• Valid driver’s licence.

 The Person Who Thrives Here:

• Resilient: able to handle high ticket volumes and frequent system activity.
• Adaptable: comfortable in a fast-paced, 24/7 manufacturing environment.
• Analytical: able to spot root causes, not just symptoms.
• Detail-focused: accuracy is non-negotiable when production depends on you.
• Independent but collaborative: works well alone but also partners with IT and Production teams.
• Problem-solver: takes ownership, sees problems, and fixes them quickly and effectively.
• Calm under pressure: keeps systems running even when deadlines are tight.

If you’re looking for a role where every day is different, challenging, and rewarding, and where your technical expertise directly impacts production success, then this could be your next big move.
