Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Why You Should Apply

Take ownership: The engineer before you spent 30 years here and recently retired, so this is a rare chance to step in and make the infrastructure yours. You'll manage the nuts and bolts (networking, firewalls, Active Directory, virtualisation) that keep a busy Cardiff factory running.

Grow into the cloud: The business is moving to the Microsoft cloud for data governance, and you'll help lead the way. If you've got the infrastructure foundations and understand cloud concepts like Purview, sensitivity labels and retention, you'll get to build this from a near-blank canvas.

Supportive team: You'll work alongside an existing senior infrastructure engineer. So when one of you is off, the business keeps running, and you've always got someone to bounce problems off.

Your Friday afternoons back: Finish at 1:30 pm every Friday, plus flexitime, so you get a proper head start on the weekend for family, hobbies, or just some downtime.

• Up to 55,000, plus company pension contributions of up to 10%
• Early finish every Friday at 1:30 pm, plus flexitime
