Description:

Are you a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who has specialised in Virtualisation/VMware and Compute? Do you desire a more DevOps approach to your role? Can you embrace automation? If so, we have a role that will kick all others into touch.

As a Senior Platform, Infrastructure Engineer, you will work in a dynamic infrastructure team and have responsibility for the current VMware, storage platforms, cloud, and associated underlying infrastructure hardware. Backup is also your domain including data management – the availability, structure, and analysis of data. You will also do capacity planning as well as technical & functional specification writing whilst working alongside project managers and other SMEs.

We are looking for an engineer who also has some DevOps experience, and/or is keen to embrace it. You should not shy away from automation.

This is a role where you will be the person who takes this area of IT to the next level. You will be the idea’s person and drive this forward.

This is predominantly an office-based role with some flex around homeworking. It’s not your average IT role and should be looked at as a career changer, not just a job. It’s an industry where you buy into the overall objective of the organization to get the best out of it. For the Infrastructure Engineer / Infrastructure Architect who has a competitive streak in them, there is no better place to work. Ownership and accountability must be something you see as your strengths as well as flexibility and being a strong team player.
