The job
As part of IT Infrastructure Development and Architecture you will be a part of a department that is responsible for the IT infrastructure on a global scale. A subset of the IT Infrastructure is the network infrastructure, covering areas like LAN, WAN, WLAN, Load balancers & Firewalls.

Key responsibilities
You will be the key responsible person for driving and developing the architecture within the areas of Datacenter, LAN and WAN. This requires you to create and maintain the design architecture standards for the global MAN Diesel & Turbo network and ensure new and existing implementations adhere to the standards within the MAN & VW Group.
 
Together with colleagues in the Infrastructure Development department and/or other parts of IT you will be building and implementing new solutions for MAN Diesel & Turbo and you must be able to manage technical project implementation with a well-documented handover to the operational department and outsourcing partners.
