• Implementing updates, patches, and security enhancements in alignment with organisational standards.
• Monitoring network health, identifying issues, and resolving performance bottlenecks.
• Supporting backup, restore, and disaster recovery processes.
• Working with Microsoft Azure services and architecture.
• Providing support across server infrastructure, including Dell hardware and iDRAC.
• Operating within environments that include SAN technologies.

What You'll Bring

• Strong understanding of core networking concepts including TCP/IP, VLANs, subnetting, VPNs, and load balancing.
• Hands‑on experience with Fortinet firewalls and Cisco switching (CLI skills essential).
• Good knowledge of Windows Server environments and Active Directory.
• Ability to design, troubleshoot, and improve complex network environments.
• Experience working across hybrid infrastructure and virtualised networks.
• A collaborative approach with the ability to work closely with infrastructure and security teams.
• Flexibility to support work outside typical hours when needed.

If you're looking for a role where you can grow, take real ownership, and help shape a secure and resilient infrastructure landscape, we'd love to hear from you.
