IT Infrastructure & Security Engineer

An exciting opportunity for an experienced IT Infrastructure & Security Engineer to join a growing IT team, playing a key role in the development and modernisation of its infrastructure.

A major focus of the role will be a significant infrastructure transformation, moving away from traditional on-premises environments towards a cloud-first Azure infrastructure. This will include the migration of services to Microsoft Azure and the transition to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD).

You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of technical projects, contribute to infrastructure design and deliver meaningful improvements to the organisation's IT environment.

Key responsibilities

• Play a key role in the migration from on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft Azure.
• Support the design and implementation of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), including migration from existing virtual desktop environments.
• Manage and develop Azure, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID environments.
• Provide 3rd line support across infrastructure, networking, cloud and security.
• Maintain and improve Windows Server, virtualisation and enterprise infrastructure.
• Support networking technologies including LAN, WAN, VPNs, firewalls, routing and switching.
• Identify and remediate infrastructure vulnerabilities and security risks.
• Lead technical changes, troubleshoot complex issues and work with third-party suppliers.
• Improve infrastructure resilience, monitoring, automation and security.

Essential experience

• Strong experience in a 3rd line infrastructure or engineering role.
• Good knowledge of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
• Experience with Windows Server and Active Directory / Entra ID.
• Understanding of enterprise networking, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs and firewalls.
• Experience supporting virtualised environments.
• A good understanding of infrastructure security and vulnerability management.
• Confidence managing technical projects and complex escalations.

Desirable experience

• Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and cloud migration projects.
• Microsoft Intune and Defender.
• Citrix, VMware or Hyper-V.
• Tenable and PRTG.
• Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity.

This is an excellent opportunity for an infrastructure engineer looking to get involved in a significant cloud transformation project, with the chance to help shape the future IT environment rather than simply maintain existing systems.
