Role: We're recruiting for an experienced IT Infrastructure Engineer to join a rapidly growing organisation with a UK-wide presence, supporting over 400 users across 45+ sites. This varied role involves balancing BAU support with delivering strategic infrastructure projects. You'll work across hybrid environments (on-premises and cloud), ensuring systems remain secure, scalable, and high-performing. You will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, influence IT strategy, and collaborate with a small, skilled team in a business that values proactive problem-solving and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

1. Design, build, and maintain secure, scalable IT infrastructure across on-premises and cloud environments.
2. Lead cloud architecture, adoption, and security initiatives.
3. Manage Windows Server, Hyper-V, Failover Clustering, and SAN environments.
4. Administer Active Directory, Azure AD, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.
5. Monitor system performance, uptime, and capacity planning.
6. Manage Veeam backups, including monthly replication and disaster recovery processes.
7. Support and maintain core network infrastructure (firewalls, switches, routers, wireless access points).
8. Provide technical support for the organisation's VoIP platform.
9. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support application deployments and iPaaS integrations.

Ideal Candidate:

• Proven experience in an IT infrastructure or systems engineering role.
• Strong technical background in Microsoft environments (Windows Server, Azure, AD, Hyper-V).
• Solid networking knowledge (firewalls, VPN, VLANs, routing/switching).
• Experience managing hybrid infrastructures (on-prem SAN & cloud SaaS solutions).
• Hands-on backup/disaster recovery experience (Veeam).
• Familiarity with VOIP platforms and enterprise application integration (iPaaS tools is a bonus).
• Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across multiple sites.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary with growth potential.
• Join a fast-growing, operationally diverse business with meaningful impact.
• Opportunities to lead infrastructure projects and shape IT strategy.
• Varied and rewarding environment with a supportive team.
