Job description

Infrastructure Engineer - Central Services (On-Prem Focus)

Location: Coventry (City Centre)

Salary: Up to £55,000 | Office-based

Job Description

The Role Are you a talented Systems Engineer looking to be at the core of technical operations for a group of growing UK businesses? We're working with a central services function supporting six business units across the UK, and they're looking for a 3rd Line Systems Engineer to join their Coventry-based infrastructure team. This role sits at the core of the organisation's on-prem IT operations, providing third-line support and project implementation across infrastructure services.

The ideal candidate will work closely with all business units to help transition systems into a unified central domain, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency. While the broader business is embracing cloud for applications, this central function is very much on-prem focused – so your expertise will be crucial in supporting, expanding, and modernising their current systems.

Benefits

• Based in the heart of Coventry – easily accessible via train, with subsidised parking available nearby.
• Part of a close-knit 3‑person infrastructure team supporting all UK locations.
• Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience and certification level (Level 3+ – CCNA, etc.).
• 33 days holiday (including bank holidays) – with the option to buy up to 5 more days annually.
• Cycle to Work Scheme.
• Long‑term growth potential as the group continues to expand across the UK.

The Ideal Candidate

• Has worked through technical adversity and can clearly articulate how they troubleshoot and resolve complex issues.
• Wants to grow with the business, specialise over time, and help shape the way central services operate.
• Understands the challenge of working across multiple businesses with different standards – and is flexible enough to manage them effectively.

Key Skills and Qualifications

• VMware (must‑have – not Hyper‑V).
• HPE Technologies – HP switches, servers, and storage.
• Microsoft 365 rollouts – including Intune, Exchange, Teams, and Entra ID.
• Day‑to‑day infrastructure and networking – ideally with strong networking fundamentals (Cisco experience welcome).
• Occasional UK travel may be required, but 95% of the time you'll be based in Coventry.
