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.
* 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.
