In the bustling corridors of OzziKleen, amidst the hum of machinery and the flurry of activities, there exists a man who wears many hats—or rather, many tech-savvy headsets. Oliver Jorin, affectionately known as Oli, is the backbone of our technological infrastructure and the go-to person for all things IT. With a career spanning nearly two decades, Oli's journey from an external consultant to an integral part of the OzziKleen family has been nothing short of remarkable.
Oli's repertoire encompasses a vast array of responsibilities, each demanding a unique blend of expertise and finesse. From managing general computer infrastructure to fine-tuning security and alarm systems, updating websites, and handling MYOB management, Oli is the wizard who orchestrates the symphony of technology within our organisation. His adeptness extends beyond mere technicalities; he excels in sales analysis, data manipulation, and presentation, wielding data as a tool to drive informed decisions across departments.
But Oli's talents don't stop there. He seamlessly transitions from crunching numbers to troubleshooting hardware and software glitches with unparalleled ease. As the master of the blinky lights, whether it's configuring printers or automating report filing, Oli is the beacon of reliability in times of technological turmoil. His mantra? When all else fails, turn it off and on again—a simple yet remarkably effective solution that has earned him the trust of his colleagues.
With over 13.5 years dedicated to internal IT and an additional 6.5 years as an external consultant, Oli brings a wealth of experience to the table. His intimate knowledge of OzziKleen's technological landscape, coupled with his innovative spirit, has been instrumental in driving the company forward. From conceptualising and developing ODIN (OzziKleen Distributor Information Network) to spearheading tech initiatives at trade shows and conferences, Oli's imprint is visible in every facet of our operations.
A typical day in Oli's life is a whirlwind of activity, punctuated by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee—a flat white with a dash of sugar, his steadfast companion. Mornings are reserved for email triage and impromptu discussions with colleagues, Wednesday mornings are often reserved for Mal Close (Managing Director) on his weekly visit where ideas are exchanged, and plans are forged. As the day unfolds, Oli juggles an eclectic mix of tasks, from system migrations and software updates to customer feedback management and database maintenance. Despite the unpredictable nature of his schedule, Oli approaches each challenge with unwavering enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence.
One of Oli's superpowers lies in his ability to extract and convert data into actionable insights tailored to the needs of different departments. With over 70 staff spread across seven divisions, his knack for deciphering complex datasets ensures that everyone is equipped with the information they need to thrive. Oli's tenure at OzziKleen has been marked by the absence of catastrophic IT outages—a testament to his unparalleled expertise and dedication.
Beyond his technical prowess, Oli cherishes the flexibility and camaraderie that define life at OzziKleen. As a valued member of the family, he relishes the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the company's success while enjoying a healthy work-life balance. The transition from a contractor to an in-house IT wizard has empowered Oli to be proactive in driving process improvements and technological innovations—a privilege he doesn't take lightly.
At its core, OzziKleen is more than just a business—it's a tightly-knit community driven by a shared passion for excellence. Oli embodies this ethos wholeheartedly, embracing the company's values and championing its commitment to local manufacturing. His journey from a tech enthusiast to a linchpin of our organisation is a testament to the opportunities for growth and development that OzziKleen offers its employees.
