Job description

Overview

Cloud & Migration Engineer salary £65,000 + excellent benefits. Location: High Wycombe or Letchworth Garden City. Hybrid: 2 days in the office, 3 days from home. Contract: 9-month fixed‑term. Hours: 37 hours per week.

At the company, we look after more than 30,000 homes across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties. Our purpose is simple—safe homes, good services and neighbourhoods people feel proud to live in. Through our merger, we’ve brought together shared values, skills and ambition, helping us build more affordable homes and make an even bigger difference in the communities we serve.

As part of this journey, our IT team plays a vital role in keeping our systems secure, reliable and ready for the future. We’re now looking for a Cloud & Migration Engineer to support one of the most important pieces of our transformation work: the migration and integration of our Microsoft 365 and Azure environments.

About the Role

This is a hands‑on technical role at the heart of our merger and integration programme. As a Cloud & Migration Engineer, you’ll help shape and deliver our approach to Microsoft 365 and Azure migration, from discovery and due diligence through to cutover, stabilisation and post‑migration support.

You’ll assess source and target environments, define migration waves, map dependencies, support identity and collaboration decisions, and help ensure our cloud services remain stable, secure and scalable throughout the transition. You’ll also contribute to solution design, transitional architecture and technical planning across identity, endpoint, collaboration and cloud platforms.

If you enjoy complex technical problem‑solving, thrive in change programmes and want to play a key role in a major organisational migration, this role offers a unique opportunity.

  • Support backup, rollback, disaster recovery and service continuity
  • Implement, configure and support network systems
Operational Support
  • Act as a senior escalation point for BAU and migration‑related issues
  • Maintain architecture, configuration and migration documentation
  • Support testing, pilots, cutover, hypercare and post‑migration stabilisation
  • Validate target services and security controls ahead of transition
  • Support cyber security operations and incident response
  • Follow structured testing, assurance and change management processes
  • Manage infrastructure in line with ISO and ITIL best practice
  • Work within Data Protection and Information Governance protocols
Collaboration & Communication
  • Work closely with IT colleagues, suppliers and project teams
  • Provide technical input into migration governance and design decisions
  • Document risks, dependencies and mitigation plans
  • Support user communications and readiness activity
