West Midlands | 5 days onsite

Active DV Clearance (or used within the last 10 months)

Have you worked behind the scenes of an ArcGIS Enterprise platform, rather than simply using GIS applications?

I'm working with a specialist technology consultancy delivering secure geospatial solutions across Defence and National Security. They're looking for a GIS Platform Systems Engineer to join an established technical team supporting mission-critical systems.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with hands‑on ArcGIS Enterprise experience who wants to develop their systems engineering skills, take greater technical ownership and work on platforms where reliability and security genuinely matter.

• Supporting platform upgrades, patching and security improvements.
• Troubleshooting technical issues and resolving infrastructure‑related problems.
• Working with Windows Server, networking and virtualised environments.
• Supporting automation and platform administration using PowerShell.
• Collaborating with experienced engineers to improve platform performance, resilience and security.
• Supporting the delivery and deployment of geospatial capabilities across secure environments.

What are we looking for?

Due to the nature of the customer environment, applicants must already hold transferable DV security clearance or used within the last 10 months.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Hands‑on ArcGIS Enterprise configuration, administration or deployment experience.
• A background in systems engineering, infrastructure engineering or technical platform support.
• Working knowledge of Windows Server and enterprise IT infrastructure.
• An understanding of networking, security and troubleshooting.
• Some exposure to PowerShell scripting or automation.
• Experience supporting live technical environments.

What’s on offer?

• Salary around £50,000, with flexibility for relevant experience.
• Private healthcare and health cash plan.
• Life assurance (4x salary) and income protection.
• 25 days' annual leave, increasing with service.
• 10 dedicated professional development days annually.
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme.
• Relocation support may be available.
• Genuine opportunities to develop your technical expertise and take on greater responsibility.
