Job description

Green Orchard Recruitment are thrilled to be working with a well-established engineering business that’s investing in modernising its IT estate – moving away from traditional infrastructure and embracing cloud-first, serverless technologies.

They’re looking for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer to join a small and capable internal team. It’s a great opportunity for someone with a broad technical skillset, especially if you’re coming from a support background and ready to take on more responsibility across infrastructure and 3rd line support.

You’ll be supporting a Wintel-based environment while helping to shape how IT services are delivered in the future. Alongside monitoring infrastructure and performing patching, updates and upgrades, you’ll also assist the IT Support Desk with escalations and configure end-user hardware in line with policy and compliance.

The team is looking for someone with a strong appreciation of user needs, a keen eye on security, and a proactive approach to improvement. Occasional travel to other sites may be required, and some flexibility outside of core hours will be needed from time to time for maintenance or upgrade activities.

What you’ll need to bring

• At least two years’ experience in a similar role, ideally with support experience
• A good grounding in Windows Server (2016–2019), Active Directory, and Hyper-V
• Familiar with Microsoft 365 (F to E suites), Intune, Defender, and Entra
• Confident using Azure (PaaS/IaaS), including governance and security
• Comfortable managing networks: DNS, DHCP, VLANs, SD-WAN, 802.1X, routing
• Understanding of enterprise WiFi and BYOD/guest access
• Firewall configuration, vulnerability management, and threat detection

It would be great if you also have

• Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 experience
• Knowledge of SQL Server or cloud-based telephony
• Familiar with backup solutions such as Veeam or Rubrik

What’s on offer

• Company pension scheme
• Access to mental health and wellbeing resources
• Discounts with major retailers like Tesco, M&S, and Argos
• Free on-site parking and EV charging
• Ongoing training (including internal systems) and development support
• Friendly, down-to-earth team culture

Please note: This role is not eligible for sponsorship. You’ll need to have the right to work in the UK.
