Welcome at Rosendahl Nextrom, where we manufacture production technologies for the battery, cable & wire, and optical fiber industries.

More than 500 people work at our headquarters in Pischelsdorf today to ensure that the world will be supplied further with energy, communication and mobility tomorrow. And that in a sustainable way. We want a fit – for you and for us. That is why we offer you a reasonable, diverse, and - most importantly - friendly working environment, internationality, and lots of room to develop. We are also part of the Knill Group, a private family business with over 300 years of tradition based in Weiz.

Are you knowledgeable about IT infrastructures, able to maintain a clear overview even when dealing with different technologies, and eager to drive projects forward independently?

As a Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the ongoing development of our international IT infrastructure. Your focus will be on IT security and firewalls, while also working as a technical all-rounder on a wide variety of infrastructure topics and projects.

You don’t need to be able to configure every technology down to the last detail yourself. What’s important is that you understand technical concepts, can evaluate solutions, and provide technical guidance to both internal and external specialists.

- You will take on IT infrastructure and security projects and further develop them in collaboration with our IT team.
- A key focus of your work will be on IT security, firewalls, and the continuous improvement of our security levels and IT resilience.
- You will assume technical responsibility for projects and subprojects—from conception and coordination through to implementation.
- Currently, you can look forward to exciting projects related to the IT integration of new international company locations.
- You’ll work with internal and external experts to further develop our hybrid infrastructure. This includes, among other things, Microsoft 365, Azure / Entra ID, Intune, Active Directory, Windows Server, VMware / vSphere, networking, VPN, endpoint security, and backup & recovery.
- You’ll manage and coordinate our external IT security and technology partners, evaluate proposed solutions, and work with them to ensure a smooth technical implementation.
- Together with our experts, you’ll translate insights from security assessments and regular penetration tests into concrete improvement measures.
- You’ll analyze and resolve complex technical escalations and develop sustainable solutions.
- You will continuously refine our IT security standards, documentation, and processes.
- You will leverage automation and AI tools wherever they make our work better and more efficient. If you’d like to develop your own tools, scripts, or agents for this purpose, you’ll have the freedom to do so.

About you

- You have extensive professional experience in IT infrastructure and systems engineering—ideally around 8–10 years or comparable relevant experience.
- You have a solid understanding of IT security, firewall, and network concepts,



and can evaluate technical solutions and their implications.
- You are familiar with modern hybrid IT infrastructures and have experience in several of the following areas: Microsoft 365, Azure / Entra ID, Intune, Active Directory, Windows Server, VMware / vSphere, networking, VPN, endpoint security, or backup & recovery.
- You don’t need to be an expert in all of these technologies. What’s important to us is that you understand the big picture, ask the right questions, and can provide technical guidance to specialists.
- You have experience with IT infrastructure or security projects and enjoy taking responsibility for your own tasks and projects.
- You work independently and in a structured manner, contribute your own ideas, and make well-informed technical decisions within your area of responsibility.
- Experience with PowerShell, automation, or AI-powered tools is a plus—but what matters more to us is your willingness to make effective use of new opportunities.
- You communicate confidently in German and English and enjoy working with internal and external contacts in an international environment.

About us

What Makes the Job special:

- With us, you won’t be given a predefined IT landscape that you’re simply expected to manage.
- You’ll have the opportunity to take the lead on projects, help shape solutions, and contribute your expertise.
- With the integration of new international locations, ongoing infrastructure projects, and the continuous enhancement of our security levels, there are currently several exciting tasks awaiting you.
- We take a pragmatic approach and collaborate closely with internal and external experts: Good ideas are discussed, decisions are made, and practical solutions are implemented with as little red tape as possible.
- If you want to delve deeper into a technical topic, automate a process, or try out new tools, you’ll have the freedom to do so.

What sets us apart:

- A genuinely positive working atmosphere – ranked as our number one benefit in our employee survey.
- A healthy work–life balance. Depending on the position, we offer flexible working hours, remote work options, and/or part-time models.
- Meal subsidies, an on-site company day-care provider, and more – a wide range of benefits designed to make everyday life easier.
- A global technology leader – experience first-hand how future-oriented technologies and machinery are developed.
- Over 500 colleagues at our main site and another 300 worldwide: large enough for exciting projects, yet small enough for fast decisions and a personal working environment.
- Your workplace? Pischelsdorf – surrounded by nature,



easily accessible without traffic jams, and with ample on-site parking.
- All of this within the Knill Group – a long-established, internationally successful family-owned company since 1712, still privately held today.

your success is our passion

We offer you the safety of a global market leader and an environment where newcomers as well as experienced professionals can work independently, bring in new ideas and are able to develop.

As a part of the international Knill Group we go back to over 300 years of tradition. However, that does not mean that we are old-school. Quite the opposite. We use the most up-to-date technology, love to research, and have our (green) heart in the right place. In the true sense of the word – we are located in the middle of an Eaststyrian forest in Pischelsdorf (approx. 10 min from the motorway exit Gleisdorf, approx. 20 minutes from Hartberg or Weiz)

We are a Styrian company which has clients in 73 countries all over the world. International but also embedded in the structure of the Knill Group, we stay grounded: As a well-organized KMU we offer flexibility and speed.

We ensure a reasonable environment with high-quality equipment. With a research rate of over 7%, we keep up with the times. And that since 1712 – always focusing on the future. With sustainability and eMobility being our current hottest topics.

Our company is characterized by friendliness and a sense of community. We have an open ear and pursue our goals together. Besides that, or probably because of that, we offer a lot of independence and freedom of design. Over 800 employees all over the world show how that’s possible.

Money is not everything but the membership of one of the best collective agreements in Austria does not sound bad either, right? Especially when there are also flexible working times, homeoffice, food subsidies and childcare.
