## Description

Base pay range

Permanent, full-time | Salary up to £55,000 + bonus and benefits

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 2026, this is 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.

Key focus

 * Rubrik backup & recovery (highly desirable)
 * 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

 * 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
 * Azure admin experience or clear desire to upskill into cloud
 * Terraform/IaC exposure
 * Relevant certs (CCNA/MCSA/AZ-series)

Please apply today for immediate CV review. Interviews planned December for a Jan / early 2026 start.
