Infrastructure Engineer
Newton Abbot | £42,000 – £47,000 | Office-based
If you're an experienced Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys being hands-on with the technology you support, solving complex problems and getting involved in infrastructure improvements and projects, this could be an interesting next move.
We're recruiting for a well-established business in Newton Abbot looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to join its IT Operations team.
This is an office-based role, working as part of the team on-site in Newton Abbot. You'll have exposure to a broad, business-critical technology environment, combining day-to-day infrastructure support with improvement work and wider technical projects.
It's a varied position where you'll be able to troubleshoot complex issues, improve resilience and performance, and contribute to how the infrastructure develops.
What you'll be doing
Your day-to-day work will include:
Supporting and maintaining server, network and infrastructure environments
Administering Windows Server and Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online
Supporting VMware and/or Hyper-V virtual environments
Working with networking technologies including VLANs and VPNs
Supporting infrastructure across on-premise, hosted and Azure environments
Monitoring performance, availability and capacity and identifying potential issues before they become problems
Managing patching and supporting infrastructure security
Troubleshooting more complex infrastructure issues as a 2nd/3rd line escalation point
Using PowerShell to improve and automate administration
Working with third-party and hosting providers
Testing and implementing infrastructure, hardware and software changes
Contributing to infrastructure improvements and wider technical projects
Keeping technical documentation up to date
What we're looking for
You'll need a good grounding in infrastructure and experience supporting a business-critical IT environment.
Your background is likely to include several of the following:
Windows Server
VMware and/or Hyper-V
Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online
Networking, including VLANs and VPNs
PowerShell
Azure
SAN/storage technologies
Infrastructure monitoring, security and patching
You don't need to have worked with every technology on the list. We're more interested in strong infrastructure fundamentals, good troubleshooting skills and someone who understands how the different parts of an environment fit together.
Experience with Cisco Meraki or HP networking would be useful, as would exposure to Linux/Unix, DevOps, ITIL or infrastructure project delivery.
You'll suit the role if you enjoy being hands-on, solving problems and taking ownership. You'll be working as part of a team, so being able to communicate clearly, share knowledge and manage competing priorities will be just as important as the technology.
Salary: £42,000 – £47,000
