My client is looking for an ERP Support Specialist to become the central point of contact for all things Business Central (ERP). This role is fast-moving, and varied and will enable you to put your stamp on the position, department, and technology.
It will also enable you to build valuable skills in Microsoft Business Central, the hottest ERP around and perfect for someone who has worked with an ERP system in support, business analysis or ERP project delivery previously.
And the best bit is, you don’t need to come with Dynamics / BC experience, so long as you’ve worked with and supported an ERP system you’ll get the knowledge, training and investment in BC, which, quite honestly would be career transformational.
My client is a highly successful family-run advanced manufacturing company with a strong presence and good reputation within the Aerospace industry. Investment in its people is a key policy of its culture, and to ensure that they continue to meet the high standards expected by our customers.
