I am working with a client in the Gloucester area who are looking for an experienced system administrator to join their team. This is a senior role with a hands on focus rather than leadership. The client encourages proactivity and the environment supports those that want to get involved with project work and the technical direction of the business. Although they have existing systems in place, the right candidate will not be afraid to make recommendations if they can see a better way of doing things. You will have the support of senior leadership and the freedom to crack on with things. Best practice is important; there will be an element of documenting this to bolster the efficiency of the team moving forward.
