  • Managing and supporting Microsoft 365 - Exchange Online, Teams, Intune, SharePoint, and Azure AD.
  • Installing, configuring, and maintaining VMware vSphere/ESXi and Hyper-V virtual environments.
  • Designing and building secure network infrastructures - switches, routers, firewalls, VPNs, and Wi-Fi.
  • Implementing and managing security controls, patching, and endpoint protection.
  • Overseeing backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans.
  • Collaborating with project managers, developers, and clients to deliver tailored infrastructure solutions.

Requirements

  • Expert-level knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365.
  • Solid hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - ideally across compute, networking, and identity management.
  • Confident managing both Windows and Linux operating systems.
  • Skilled in VMware or Hyper-V virtualisation.
  • Excellent understanding of networking fundamentals - VLANs, routing, switching, firewalls, and VPNs.
  • Awareness of security best practice, monitoring, and compliance.
  • Strong documentation skills and a proactive, solution-driven mindset.
