Job description

Azure Infrastructure Project Engineer

Our client is a growing IT services provider, supporting organisations across education, manufacturing, and professional services. They deliver secure, cloud-first solutions that modernise infrastructure and enable digital transformation.

As an Azure Infrastructure Project Engineer, you'll be trusted to deliver high-impact implementation projects while enjoying a flexible working arrangement - most of your work can be done from home, with office visits typically once per week, and for the right person as little as once per month.

They are seeking an Azure Infrastructure Project Engineer to take ownership of hands-on implementation projects. This is a 3rd Line level role where you'll design, build, and deliver solutions end-to-end, while also supporting the wider infrastructure environment when required.

Responsibilities

• Leading implementation projects such as:
• Microsoft 365 security hardening - Defender onboarding, Intune/conditional access, BitLocker, encryption, phishing simulations
• Azure migrations - deploying new Azure VMs, Domain Controllers, SQL servers, configuring Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) with FSLogix, backups and restores
• Teams Phone (Operator Connect) - implementing Teams telephony, auto attendants, call queues, voicemail, and number porting
• Supporting core infrastructure: Windows Server, Active Directory, VMware/Hyper-V, SQL, and networking (LAN/WAN/VPN/WiFi)
• Delivering changes from planning and design through to testing, go-live, and Service Desk handover
• Producing documentation, reporting progress, and providing training and post-implementation support
• Working directly with clients and stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery and adoption

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as a 3rd Line Infrastructure Engineer with strong implementation project delivery
• Hands-on skills across Microsoft Azure (IaaS, AVD, Intune, Azure AD) and Microsoft 365
• Knowledge of VMware/Hyper-V, Windows Server, Active Directory, and SQL
• Networking experience (LAN, WAN, VPN, Wi-Fi, firewalls)
• Familiarity with backup & DR solutions (Veeam, Rubrik, etc.)
• Confident communicator able to update stakeholders and create clear documentation
• Relevant certifications (Azure, VMware, MCSA/MCSE, PRINCE2, ITIL) are desirable

Why become a Azure Infrastructure Project Engineer here?

• Opportunity to deliver end-to-end Azure and infrastructure projects rather than just BAU support
• Accredited IT services provider: ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, Microsoft Partner
• Direct exposure to projects such as Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft 365 security, and Teams telephony
• Career progression into senior technical or project delivery roles as the company continues to grow
• Hybrid flexibility - typically one day per week on site, but for the right person this could be as little as once per month
• Collaborative, supportive culture where you'll be trusted with ownership and responsibility
