About the Role & Client

We’re looking for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer to join a technology team responsible for a broad, modern hybrid infrastructure estate.

This is an opportunity to work across cloud, on-premises infrastructure, networking, security and Microsoft technologies, helping to build and maintain platforms that are secure, resilient and ready for the future.

You’ll be joining an organisation with a strong social purpose, where technology plays a key role in delivering essential services and supporting communities.

How you’ll spend your day

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll have a varied role spanning both operational support and technical improvement.

You’ll be responsible for implementing, developing and maintaining:

* Azure PaaS and IaaS, including VMs, App Services, Storage, Azure SQL, VNets and Application Gateway

* On-premises and private cloud infrastructure, including HCI and virtualisation platforms

* Networking, including LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, switching, firewalls and routing

* Microsoft 365, including Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Exchange, SharePoint and Teams

* Server, storage and virtualisation environments

* Backup and recovery platforms

* Monitoring, patching and proactive infrastructure management

* Troubleshooting and root cause analysis

* Technical documentation and knowledge sharing

You’ll also act as an SME escalation point for Service Desk and Application Support teams, helping resolve more complex technical issues.

The role offers plenty of variety. One day you could be working on infrastructure within the data centre, and the next collaborating with the Development Team on a new integration or web application.

The technology environment:

You’ll be working across a predominantly Microsoft-based environment, including:

* Microsoft Server, Active Directory and DNS

* Azure PaaS and IaaS

* VMware / VxRail HCI

* Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune and Defender

* Cisco Meraki networking

* Rubrik and AvePoint backup solutions

* Azure DevOps

* Storage, virtualisation and networking technologies

Experience with Nutanix would also be advantageous.

What you’ll bring to this role

We’re looking for someone with strong hands-on infrastructure experience who enjoys solving problems and working collaboratively.

You’ll ideally have:

* Proven experience working in a modern enterprise infrastructure environment

* Strong experience with on-premises servers, storage and virtualisation

* Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure across both PaaS and IaaS

* Strong knowledge of LAN/WAN, switching, firewalls, routing and network security

* Experience with infrastructure monitoring and proactive issue resolution

* Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills

* Experience working across server, network, storage and security technologies

* A practical, collaborative approach and a willingness to keep developing your technical knowledge

You don’t need to be an expert in every technology listed. What’s important is that you have a strong infrastructure foundation, enjoy learning and can confidently work across a varied technical estate.

Perks & Benefits:

Alongside the opportunity to work across a broad and evolving technology environment, you’ll have access to a strong benefits package, including:

28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays

An additional day off for your birthday

Option to purchase additional annual leave

Cash health plan, Health MOTs and online GP access

Gym discounts and a dedicated volunteering day

Car leasing and salary sacrifice schemes

Defined Contribution and Defined Benefit pension options
