This isn't a role where you'll spend all day firefighting tickets. Yes, there will be some 3rd line support. But the real attraction is the project work. Over the next 6-12 months, you'll be heavily involved in: Building and configuring new infrastructure Installing servers and provisioning virtual machines Supporting data centre changes Strengthening resilience and disaster recovery Improving the overall IT environment It's the kind of role where your work will be visible and genuinely valued.

You'll be one of a small number of engineers shaping the environment. You'll have the freedom to make recommendations. And if you're the kind of person who likes to leave things better than you found them, your ideas will be listened to. The kind of person who'll love this role You're comfortable in a data centre. You know your way around servers, storage, virtualisation, and Microsoft infrastructure. And when someone asks you to solve a problem, you don't wait to be told what to do. You get stuck in.
