What the job is: This job is for an experienced IT Manager or Supervisor to work with a medical laboratory company in Amanzimtoti. You will be responsible for keeping all IT systems running smoothly, especially the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), which is crucial for managing patient data and lab results. The role involves ensuring the accuracy, security, and efficiency of the lab’s IT systems while following healthcare regulations.

What you will do: You will manage and maintain the LIMS and other company systems, including setting up and troubleshooting hardware and software. This includes configuring the LIMS, managing user permissions, and ensuring seamless communication between lab instruments and IT systems. You will also diagnose and fix technical issues, whether they are with software, hardware, or network problems, and provide support to lab staff.

You will monitor data quality within the LIMS, resolve discrepancies, and ensure lab data meets regulatory standards. This includes maintaining an inventory of IT assets and keeping detailed records of system maintenance. You will also create training materials and guide lab staff on how to use the LIMS effectively.

Additionally, you will participate in projects to improve or upgrade the LIMS, work with lab management to optimize processes, and ensure all IT systems comply with healthcare laws and security policies. You will also oversee and manage the IT team.

What you need: You need a relevant IT qualification, such as a diploma or degree. A valid driver’s license is required, as you may need to travel to Amanzimtoti. You should have at least 3 to 5 years of experience working with LIMS in a medical lab, preferably in a healthcare setting.

Technical skills include hands-on experience with LIMS configuration, troubleshooting, and support, as well as knowledge of database concepts like SQL. You should be comfortable with network fundamentals and have experience interfacing lab instruments with IT systems. Familiarity with scripting languages like Python or R is a bonus.

Soft skills are also important: strong problem-solving and analytical skills, excellent communication to work with lab staff and IT teams, and good organizational abilities. You must be detail-oriented, committed to data privacy, and patient when providing support and training.

What you will get: The salary for this role is R480,000 per year. You will have the opportunity to lead IT operations in a growing medical diagnostics company, directly impacting healthcare quality and patient safety. The job offers a professional and dynamic work environment.
