Job description

Infrastructure Engineer

Manchester

£45,000 - £55,000 + Benefits

Excellent opportunity for a hands‑on Infrastructure Engineer to join a growing team within a large, multi‑site environment. This role will suit someone who enjoys working with physical infrastructure, building systems from scratch and playing a key role in project delivery rather than purely BAU support.

This organisation is a well‑established UK business operating across secure and highly regulated environments, with a significant national presence. They are investing in their infrastructure team, adding multiple engineers to support growth and ongoing improvements across a large estate of over 90 sites and 1,000+ servers.

In this role, you will be responsible for delivering infrastructure projects and supporting core systems across a predominantly on‑prem environment. The position is heavily hands‑on, including installing servers into racks, configuring systems from scratch, working with storage (SAN), and supporting core technologies such as Active Directory. Around 80% of the role is project‑based, giving you the opportunity to be involved in real change and improvement work across the business.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in enterprise infrastructure environments, particularly with on‑prem systems. You will be comfortable building and deploying infrastructure, have solid Active Directory experience, and be confident working across physical and virtual environments.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team where you can take ownership of infrastructure projects, develop your technical skills, and work within a business that values practical, hands‑on engineering expertise.

The Role:

• Build, install and configure servers and infrastructure from the ground up
• Work with storage solutions (SAN) and core on‑prem systems
• Deliver infrastructure projects across 90+ sites (approx. 80% project work)
• Support and maintain Active Directory and core Microsoft environments
• Ensure systems are secure, patched and operating effectively

The Person:

• Strong hands‑on infrastructure experience in an enterprise environment
• Experience installing servers, working with storage (SAN) and physical infrastructure
• Solid Active Directory experience (key requirement)
• Background in on‑prem infrastructure (cloud beneficial but not essential)
• Full UK driving licence and able to obtain SC clearance

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
