This is a genuinely hands on, onsite role - not a remote or hybrid architecture position. You'll be in server rooms and comms rooms day-to-day: racking and cabling hardware, physically relocating equipment between sites, migrating NAS storage and reconfiguring networking as legacy systems are brought across - all while mentoring an early career in-house team through to handover. What you'll be doing: Assessing legacy infrastructure and delivering pragmatic, low-risk migration plans Physically relocating equipment between sites - racking, unracking, structured cabling and rack configuration Commissioning new server rooms, including rack population and cable management Managing Dell server hardware, Windows Server, and virtualisation (Hyper-V/VMware) Executing QNAP NAS storage migrations Owning backup and restore using Veeam Backup & Replication, including active support during migrations Configuring and troubleshooting Cisco Meraki networking (MX/MS/MR) - firewalls, VLANs, segmentation Leading SaaS and tenancy repointing as services move from legacy to new tenants, including identity platform work (AD/Entra ID) Acting as a senior escalation point, working closely with project managers, security teams and vendors Mentoring junior IT team members ahead of contract handover What we're looking for - this is a hands-on delivery role, so we need direct, demonstrable experience with: Dell server hardware Veeam Backup & Replication specifically (not just backup/DR concepts on other platforms) QNAP NAS storage, including migrations Cisco Meraki (MX/MS/MR) deployment and configuration Structured cabling and rack configuration - genuine physical build/relocation experience, not just server administration Hands-on involvement in an M&A, infrastructure integration, or large-scale transformation programme SaaS/tenant repointing during a merger, acquisition or platform migration Alongside this, you'll need: Senior level infrastructure experience in a mid-to-large, established organisation with complex, bespoke legacy environments Experience in a regulated sector (financial services, healthcare, life sciences, defence) Full UK driving licence Commutable to Motherwell- this is a 5 day a week, fully onsite role This role requires an engineer who can hit the ground running from day one, with strong, current, hands-on experience across the full technology list above - not partial coverage or adjacent/equivalent tools. Two areas in particular are non-negotiable: Genuine hands-on Cisco Meraki (MX/MS/MR) deployment experience - configuring, troubleshooting and managing Meraki estates directly, not just general networking exposure Direct, hands-on experience delivering infrastructure integration as part of an actual M&A programme - not general migration, transformation or consolidation work in isolation Please note: this role requires direct, hands-on experience with the specific tools and activities listed above. General infrastructure, virtualisation or cloud architecture experience alone - without the named platforms and genuine M&A integration background - will not meet the client's requirements for this contract. Apply now with a CV that clearly evidences your experience against the above, or get in touch for a confidential conversation about the role.
