£45,000 - £55,000 + Benefits
Excellent opportunity for a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer to join a growing team within a large, multi-site environment. This role will suit someone who enjoys working with physical infrastructure, building systems from scratch and playing a key role in project delivery rather than purely BAU support.
This organisation is a well-established UK business operating across secure and highly regulated environments, with a significant national presence. They are investing in their infrastructure team, adding multiple engineers to support growth and ongoing improvements across a large estate of over 90 sites and 1,000+ servers.

The position is heavily hands-on, including installing servers into racks, configuring systems from scratch, working with storage (SAN), and supporting core technologies such as Active Directory.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in enterprise infrastructure environments, particularly with on-prem systems. You will be comfortable building and deploying infrastructure, have solid Active Directory experience, and be confident working across physical and virtual environments.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team where you can take ownership of infrastructure projects, develop your technical skills, and work within a business that values practical, hands-on engineering expertise.
The Role:
Build, install and configure servers and infrastructure from the ground up
Work with storage solutions (SAN) and core on-prem systems
Deliver infrastructure projects across 90+ sites (approx. 80% project work)

The Person:
Strong hands-on infrastructure experience in an enterprise environment
Experience installing servers, working with storage (SAN) and physical infrastructure
