Junior Infrastructure / Network Engineer

If you’ve built a home server, configured your own firewall, experimented with Linux, networking or virtual machines, we’d particularly like to hear from you. The role will involve:

• Supporting the deployment and configuration of network infrastructure
• Working with switches, routers and firewalls
• Building and provisioning physical servers
• Installing and configuring Linux operating systems
• Supporting virtualised environments
• Assisting with server patching and infrastructure maintenance
• Helping with the installation of servers and network equipment at different sites
• Following established technical and security processes
• Troubleshooting issues and escalating where appropriate
• Creating and maintaining technical documentation

The role will give you exposure to a broad infrastructure environment including Cisco networking, Check Point and Fortinet security technologies, SD-WAN, Linux servers and physical Dell server hardware.

We’re not looking for years of commercial experience. You might be a recent IT/Computer Science graduate, have a year or two of IT support or infrastructure experience, or simply be someone who has developed strong technical knowledge through your own projects and interests., * Has a good basic understanding of networking concepts such as TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, switching and firewalls

• Has some familiarity with Linux and is comfortable learning more
• Understands the basic components of PCs and servers
• Has a genuine interest in infrastructure, networking and technology
• Enjoys troubleshooting and figuring out how things work
• Is keen to learn from experienced infrastructure engineers
• Is comfortable getting hands-on with physical hardware
• Has a full driving licence and is willing to travel UK wide occasionally when required

A degree isn’t essential. We’re equally interested in candidates who have developed their skills through self-study, certifications, homelabs or personal IT projects. Capability, technical curiosity and a genuine interest in infrastructure are more important than having a perfect CV.

You’ll be joining a highly experienced infrastructure team and working alongside engineers with extensive knowledge across networking, servers and security.
