Job description

Do you bring a DevOps approach and are you familiar with Infrastructure as Code, Terraform, Containerisation, Kubernetes, and OpenShift?

As our Infrastructure Manager, you will make decisions that will shape the evolution and direction of our infrastructure, systems, and operational technology roadmap.

You will be forward-thinking and own the budget, bringing your commercial acumen to balance cost control with ensuring our solutions are fit for purpose as we continue to scale. Our infrastructure and systems support both our employees and a growing customer base of 150,000 and counting.

This role is hybrid; you should be comfortable commuting to our Head Office in Abingdon, Oxon, approximately 2 days per week.

Currently, we operate a mix of on-premise solutions, virtualization (VMware), and cloud platforms (AWS and Azure). You should be familiar with these technologies, along with sound Linux/RHEL knowledge.

You will serve as our technical expert. While not involved in day-to-day operations, you will understand the technology to support your highly skilled engineering team and your decision-making process.

As we continue to evolve, you will have plenty of opportunities to innovate, contribute ideas, and make a difference.

This is a people management role, so previous experience and alignment with our approach to leading, managing, supporting, training, mentoring, and developing your team are essential.

Gigaclear is a growing Fibre Broadband (FTTP/FTTH) company, deploying fibre-to-the-premises infrastructure in some of the UK's most challenging areas, empowering communities with broadband that rivals urban services.
