Technical Services Engineer

The Level 2 Technical Services Engineer is responsible for the day-to-day operational support of the enterprise hosting platforms that underpin critical clinical and business services within a major healthcare environment.

Working as part of the Telefónica Tech Hosting Team, the engineer will support a large-scale infrastructure estate including VMware virtualisation, Windows Server platforms, Active Directory services and core infrastructure components such as DNS, DHCP, and Certificate Services.

This is a hands-on operational role focused on maintaining service stability, resolving incidents, implementing changes and performing routine maintenance across the hosting environment.

Engineers work across a broad set of infrastructure technologies rather than specialising in a single platform, gaining exposure to virtualisation platforms, Citrix environments, enterprise storage, backup platforms and application hosting services.

The role provides an excellent opportunity for an Technical Services Engineer to develop broad enterprise platform experience while contributing to the evolution of a critical NHS hosting environment., The role is primarily based on-site at the customer location, with an expectation of at least four days per week on-site. Occasional travel to Telefónica Tech office locations may also be required for team meetings or business activities.
