If you enjoy working with servers, virtualisation, Linux, and core networking concepts, this role will give you real responsibility and room to grow.

What You'll Do

 * Support and maintain systems across our hosting environment
 * Administer Windows Server (AD, DNS, Group Policy)
 * Work with Linux servers (CLI, services, troubleshooting, logs)
 * Perform daily operational and platform health checks
 * Support virtualisation, backups, monitoring, patching
 * Manage domains and digital certificates
 * Assist with PCI DSS compliance activities
 * Provide secondary support for Windows desktops & Microsoft 365
 * Help with basic networking and firewall configuration

Datacentre experience is not required - just a willingness to work hands-on with server hardware when needed.
