A key responsibility of the Infrastructure Engineer will be monitoring system performance metrics such as CPU utilisation, disk capacity, and overall infrastructure health, ensuring optimal uptime, stability, and operational efficiency. The Infrastructure Engineer will also contribute to ongoing infrastructure improvement initiatives, including a strategic data centre migration to an externally managed environment, helping to modernise the infrastructure estate while reducing operational overhead.
