• Using Microsoft System Center tools including Configuration Manager, Operations Manager and the SCORCH product.
• Using PowerShell and automation to deliver compliant administration and improve service reliability.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience working as an Endpoint Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer or in a similar operational role.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Windows 11 and Windows Server 2019 and above.
• Experience working with the Microsoft System Center suite in an enterprise environment.
• Experience supporting enterprise‑grade endpoint protection or anti‑malware solutions.
• Practical PowerShell scripting experience with an understanding of automation.
• Experience working in controlled, security‑conscious IT environments.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience using Ivanti products.
• Experience with automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible.
• Experience operating within ITIL aligned service management environments, supported by an ITIL qualification.
• Relevant Microsoft or infrastructure certifications.

Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent. Location: Gloucestershire. Security Clearance Level: Enhanced Developed Vetting (eDV) - cleared or eligible. Internal Recruiter: Jane.
