We have an exciting opportunity for an Infrastructure Engineer to join our ICT team based in North Lanarkshire. The Infrastructure Engineer will join our ICT team, who are responsible for the delivery of key technology services across the organisation. This includes our cloud infrastructure, networking, security, data platforms, and end-user services. The role requires both strong technical expertise and business understanding.

Are you passionate about building secure, scalable, and connected cloud environments? Join us as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help strengthen our Azure platforms and ensure our organisation is powered by modern, resilient, and secure technology.

You'll work across Azure infrastructure, networking, and data services to design and deliver solutions that connect our systems, protect our data, and enable digital transformation. From securing internal integrations to optimising data pipelines in Azure Data Factory and Azure SQL, you'll play a critical role in shaping how we use cloud technology to support our mission.

This is a hands-on role where your problem-solving skills, technical expertise, and security-first mindset will make a real impact.

• Monitor and optimise performance, cost, and reliability across Azure SQL and Data Factory environments, ensuring solutions scale effectively.
• Work with internal teams to deliver secure integrations with enterprise systems.
• Apply and manage governance controls such as Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, and RBAC/PIM.
• Contribute to maintaining our Cyber Essentials Plus certification and overall security posture.
• Work closely with stakeholders to design practical and secure Azure solutions.
• Produce documentation of designs, processes, and security controls.
• Ensure secure, efficient connectivity across our cloud estate.
• Automate tasks and processes (Powershell, Python or similar)

Daily Engagements

• Collaborate with the data and infrastructure teams to design and deliver secure cloud solutions.
• Build, monitor, and troubleshoot pipelines, APIs, and networking configurations.
• Review and implement security and governance measures to keep our environment compliant and resilient.
• Support data quality, integrity, and availability by maintaining Azure SQL and monitoring data pipelines.
• Optimise cost, performance, and reliability of Azure services.
• Provide technical guidance to colleagues and support knowledge sharing through documentation.
• Explore new Azure features and assess their potential value to the organisation.

Desired Skills

• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (ARM, Bicep, Terraform).
• Knowledge of monitoring & observability tools (Log Analytics, Application Insights).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infra or data deployments.
• Broader understanding of data services (Data Lake, Synapse, or similar).
