We're recruiting for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer to join a technology-driven organisation where service resilience and infrastructure modernisation are critical. This is a hands-on role across on-prem, virtualised and cloud environments, with a strong focus on stability, security, and acquisition-driven integration.
With a major on-prem to cloud transformation planned for 2027, this a great opportunity for someone with strong on-prem skills to upskill into Azure and cloud delivery over time. You'll still need solid on-prem capability in the interim, and some on-prem services will remain post-migration. The current set-up is c.70% on-prem, with expectations that this will change significantly in the coming year.
Key focus
- Hyper-V virtualisation (clusters/failover, estate improvement)
- Rubrik backup & recovery (highly desirable)
- Windows servers + enterprise storage (SAN/NAS, iSCSI/Fibre Channel)
- Firewall / network security hands-on experience
- Acquisition migrations — tenant/user/workload integrations into a core environment
- Exposure to, or ambition for, cloud transformation (Azure)
What you'll do
- Design, deploy and support Windows on-prem, Hyper-V and Azure infrastructure
- Own patching, performance, capacity and lifecycle management
- Implement security controls and support compliance
- Lead infrastructure projects end-to-end
- Act as senior escalation for complex incidents
- Maintain accurate, audit-ready documentation
- Contribute to the 2026 cloud migration and automation improvements (Terraform)
What we're looking for
Essential:
- Proven Hyper-V, Windows Server (2012–2022), servers & storage experience
- Strong AD/DNS/DHCP/failover clustering knowledge
- Rubrik backup experience preferred
- Firewall and core networking fundamentals (VLAN, CIDR, VRRP, etc.)
- Great documentation skills and change control/CAB experience
- Confident communicator, able to manage priorities and own delivery
Desirable:
- Azure admin experience or clear desire to upskill into cloud
- Tenant-to-tenant / acquisition integration experience
- Terraform/IaC exposure
- Relevant certs (CCNA/MCSA/AZ-series)
Please apply today for immediate CV review. Interviews planned right away for a quick start.
