Job description

3rd Line Infrastructure Engineer | £40–45k + 25% Bonus | Stafford (Hybrid)

If you're reading this, feeling like you are never going to get promoted, this could be the role for you.

This team doesn’t just want a tech firefighter. They’re building future consultants. You’ll be the escalation point for complex issues, not stuck grinding through the same tickets. You’ll get hands-on with Windows infrastructure, Azure, M365, VDI, and more.

There's also a clear, mapped-out route into consultancy.

And they’ll pay for the training and certs to help get you there.

Here’s what’s on offer:

• £40 to £45k base with up to 25 percent bonus

• Hybrid working with 2 to 3 days in Stafford

• Paid certifications and support for your growth

• Real project work, not just BAU tickets

• Progression plan with a track record of success

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Know your way around VMware and general Windows Infrastructure

• Have solid experience with Azure and Windows (some Linux a bonus)

• Can handle tough tech problems solo but don’t let ego get in the way

• Speak human. No jargon. No bluster.

• Commutable to Stafford

They want a strong generalist. Someone who knows their stuff but wants more. More autonomy. More challenge. More opportunity.

No sponsorship available. UK-based applicants only.
