Job Description

Infrastructure & Network Engineer - Linux / Cisco 6 Month Contract

Pimlico Banks are recruiting an Infrastructure & Network Engineer to join the IT Infrastructure team of an established organisation in Birmingham. This is a hands‑on role working across a large and varied infrastructure estate, with a particular focus on networking, network security and physical Linux server infrastructure. We\'re looking for someone with solid commercial infrastructure and networking experience who is comfortable working across a broad technical environment and can contribute from the outset.

This isn\'t a Windows Server‑focused infrastructure position. We\'re particularly interested in engineers with strong networking skills and hands‑on experience working with Linux‑based server environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting and maintaining enterprise network infrastructure
• Configuring and troubleshooting switches, routers and firewalls
• Working with Cisco networking technologies
• Supporting Check Point and Fortinet security environments
• Working with SD‑WAN infrastructure
• Installing, configuring and maintaining Linux servers
• Building and commissioning physical server hardware
• Supporting virtualised environments
• Server patching and general infrastructure maintenance
• Troubleshooting network, server and infrastructure issues
• Supporting infrastructure upgrades and improvement projects
• Installing servers and network equipment at other sites when required
• Maintaining technical documentation and following security processes

Candidate Requirements

• Has solid commercial Infrastructure and Network Engineering experience
• Has a strong understanding of TCP/IP, VLANs, routing and switching
• Has hands‑on experience configuring and troubleshooting enterprise network equipment
• Has commercial experience working with Linux servers
• Has experience with firewalls and network security
• Is comfortable working with physical server hardware
• Has strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills
• Is comfortable taking ownership of technical issues and seeing them through to resolution
• Is willing to travel to other sites occasionally when required
• Holds a valid driving licence

Experience with Cisco, Check Point, Fortinet, SD‑WAN and Linux server hardware would be particularly useful, although we\'re not expecting someone to have worked with every technology. You\'ll be joining a highly experienced infrastructure team with extensive knowledge across networking, servers and security.

The role is predominantly onsite in Birmingham, with a minimum of three days per week onsite. There will also be occasional travel to other locations and some out‑of‑hours work where required.
