Job description

Information Technology Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure Engineer | Hybrid | North Manchester | Salary up to £50,000 based on experience

Are you the person everyone escalates to when IT Infrastructure really matters?

This is a Senior Infrastructure role where you’ll own the design, stability, and evolution of a modern Microsoft‑led environment — not just keep the lights on.

A well‑established North Manchester organisation with a sizeable on‑prem and Azure footprint is strengthening its internal IT function.

You’ll act as the technical authority across infrastructure — shaping architecture decisions, leading complex projects, mentoring others, and working closely with IT leadership to modernise systems in line with wider business goals.

This is a hands‑on senior role, not a ticket queue.

What makes this role genuinely attractive:

• Technical ownership — you’ll lead infrastructure design across on‑prem, hybrid, and cloud
• Project‑led environment — upgrades, migrations, automation, and platform improvements
• Automation encouraged — PowerShell and efficiency improvements are actively supported
• Influence & visibility — your technical input shapes IT and business strategy
• Stability with momentum — established organisation investing in its technology

Core areas you’ll work across include:

• Azure & hybrid infrastructure
• Networking (Cisco, Firewalls, VPNs)
• Storage, Backup & DR
• Security, patching, monitoring, and standards

You’ll also mentor colleagues and act as the final escalation point for complex issues.

If you’re a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who wants:

• more ownership
• more influence
• and a role where good engineering actually gets listened to

…this is worth a confidential conversation.

2 Days Hybrid working after successfully passing probation, we want you to know the people and processes first which is happens from the office. There is a defined WFH policy in place.

North Manchester / Commutable from Ashton, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale or Oldham & surrounding areas.
