Infrastructure Engineer – Salisbury (Hybrid)
£50,000–£55,000 + bonus
This role sits inside a fast-growing UAV business operating at the sharp end of the defence and aerospace space. The company has grown rapidly and continues to scale, which means its IT infrastructure must be secure, reliable and able to keep up. That’s where this role comes in.
You’ll join a small but capable IT team supporting an engineering‑heavy organisation, with infrastructure that is predominantly on‑prem, including secure and air‑gapped environments. The work is hands‑on, broad, and varied. It's ideal for someone who enjoys owning systems rather than just maintaining them.
What you’ll be involved in
* Deploying and supporting on‑prem infrastructure (servers, networks, storage)
* Supporting Windows and Linux environments
* Virtualisation and containerisation (Hyper‑V, Docker)
* WAN / LAN, switches, firewalls, VPNs
* Identity and access services (Active Directory, Entra)
* Backup, recovery, DR testing and capacity planning
* Supporting engineering and business applications (CAD, Jira, GitLab, document management)
* Maintaining documentation and supporting security accreditations
What makes this role stand out
* Exposure across all aspects of IT, not a narrow silo
* Secure, regulated environments that require real engineering judgement
* A growing SME where you can influence how things are done
* Strong learning and development culture — encouraged, funded, supported
* Excellent retention and genuinely good working environment
What they’re looking for
* Experience in a similar infrastructure‑focused role
* Strong grounding in on‑prem infrastructure
* Comfort working in secure or regulated environments
* Ability to prioritise, self‑manage and work pragmatically
* Eligibility for UK Security Clearance (5 years UK residency)
Salary & Benefits
PAckage includes advertised Saalry, bonus up to 15%, 25 days holiday, 6% matched Pension, Share incentive plan, Private Medical & Dental.
If you’re an infrastructure engineer who wants depth, responsibility, and exposure to one of the most fast‑moving areas of defence engineering right now, this is a role worth exploring.
