Systems Engineer - Central Services (On-Prem Focus)
Location: Coventry (City Centre)
Salary: Up to £55,000 | Office-based
The Role
Are you a talented Systems Engineer looking to be at the core of technical operations for a group of growing UK businesses? We're working with a central services function supporting six business units across the UK, and they're looking for a 3rd Line Systems Engineer to join their Coventry-based infrastructure team.
This role sits at the core of the organisation's on-prem IT operations, providing third-line support and project implementation across infrastructure services. The ideal candidate will work closely with all business units to help transition systems into a unified central domain, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
While the broader business is embracing cloud for applications, this central function is very much on-prem focused - so your expertise will be crucial in supporting, expanding, and modernising their current systems.
Benefits:
* Based in the heart of Coventry - easily accessible via train, with subsidised parking available nearby
* Part of a close-knit 3-person infrastructure team supporting all UK locations
* Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience and certification level (Level 3+ preferred - CCNA, etc.)
* 33 days holiday (including bank holidays) - with the option to buy up to 5 more days annually
* Cycle to Work Scheme
* Long-term growth potential as the group continues to expand across the UK
The ideal candidate:
This is a collaborative, growing function - ideal for someone who:
* Has worked through technical adversity and can clearly articulate how they troubleshoot and resolve complex issues
* Wants to grow with the business, specialise over time, and help shape the way central services operate
* Understands the challenge of working across multiple businesses with different standards - and is flexible enough to manage them effectively
Key Skills and Qualifications:
* VMware (must-have - not Hyper-V)
* HPE Technologies - HP switches, servers, and storage
* Microsoft 365 rollouts - including Intune, Exchange, Teams, and Entra ID
* Day-to-day infrastructure and networking - ideally with strong networking fundamentals (Cisco experience welcome)
Occasional UK travel may be required, but 95% of the time you'll be based in Coventry.
