Are you a Technician with the required experience and looking to step into an Engineer role, then this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for! Due to the nature of the project, you will be required to work a rotation of "in‑country" and "home" working. We are open to expats; or those willing to work in the Middle East for this role.

Role Overview

Data Centre & Infrastructure Engineer – This role is ideal for a talented and ambitious professional. The role of Data Centre & Infrastructure Engineer entails being responsible for the build, installation, configuration and commissioning of complex network servers, PCs and other systems such as CCTV and building monitoring systems that make up our maritime surveillance systems, along with their ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting and resolution.

Responsibilities

• Configuration and deployment of networked servers, storage, network (hardware and related software packages) and other IT system support infrastructure.
• Check and validate installations, and provide reports.
• Configuration and troubleshooting of different types of connectivity systems.
• Monitor system performance, undertake troubleshooting and resolution, and implementation of software patches and hardware replacements.
• Support and train customer internal IT departments and technicians to enable them to take operational ownership and responsibility of the systems we have supplied – day‑to‑day maintenance, issue identification and resolution.
• Maintain good documentation trails of system changes and updates.

Requirements

• Strong experience of network IT system setup and management experience in either commercial or industrial environments.
• Deep understanding of IT networks and server system configurations and set up – in particular Windows/Linux servers and networking (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN) would prove highly beneficial.
• Experience with virtualization (VMware/Hyper‑V) and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure) advantageous.
• Strong understanding of IT security and data protection best practices.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent teamwork and communication abilities.
• A qualification in Tower Climbing / Working at Height would be beneficial; we will provide certified training for those without, but you must "have a head for heights".

Benefits

• Competitive Salary
• Long Term Career Development Opportunities
• Excellent Benefits Package and Private Healthcare
