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.
