## Description

We're supporting a major operational resilience and cyber recovery programme and are looking for an experienced Infrastructure Technical Lead to lead the design, build and implementation of a dedicated recovery environment. Whilst the programme sits within a cyber recovery initiative, this role is focused on the underlying infrastructure, backup, compute and disaster recovery platforms that make recovery possible.

This is a high-profile programme focused on strengthening recovery capabilities and creating an independent recovery platform capable of supporting critical services during major technology failures, cyber incidents and operational disruption. The successful contractor will provide hands-on technical leadership across design, engineering, integration, testing and implementation activities.

You will be the technical authority across the recovery solution, working closely with internal teams and delivery partners to ensure infrastructure, backup and recovery technologies are successfully integrated, tested and transitioned into service. A strong understanding of how enterprise infrastructure components fit together is essential, along with the ability to design practical, resilient solutions across complex environments.
