Are you an experienced IT professional who thrives on building robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure?

Our client is an award‑winning law firm with a strong focus on technology and innovation. As they continue to invest in their infrastructure, they have an excellent new opportunity for an experienced Second Line Network Infrastructure Engineer to join their growing IT Operations Team.

This is a hands‑on role where you'll play a key part in keeping systems secure, resilient, and future‑ready, helping the business deliver exceptional service with technology at its core.

From day one, you'll be involved in important projects from planning to delivery, working across cloud, network, and server environments to ensure the IT operations are secure, efficient, and built to scale.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting Microsoft‑based infrastructure and business applications
• Managing LAN / WAN networks, routers, and firewalls (Meraki, SonicWALL)
• Maintaining and evolving our Azure cloud platform and Citrix environment
• Leading infrastructure projects and implementing new technologies
• Monitoring systems, responding to alerts, and troubleshooting issues
• Maintaining network and endpoint security, including patching
• Participating in a paid on‑call rota and monthly patching (paid as overtime)

• Networking expertise (LAN / WAN, routers, firewalls)
• Hands‑on knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu), SQL Server (2022), and MS Exchange (2019)
• Familiarity with Dell PowerStore or similar storage solutions

How they work

A hands‑on team that thrives on solving problems and making technology work smarter for the business. You'll collaborate with talented colleagues across IT and the wider business, working with modern platforms and tools to deliver secure, reliable, and high‑performing systems.

You'll thrive if you're curious about new technologies, enjoy taking ownership of projects, and want to see the real impact of your work in a fast‑paced, growing organisation.

Schedule

• Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm
• Occasional out‑of‑hours support (paid overtime)

You’ll be based at their modern office in Leeds, conveniently located just off Junction 3 of the M621. For those driving, they offer free on‑site parking, making commuting by car hassle‑free. Also well connected by public transport, with major bus routes including the 2, 3, 24, 116, 200, 201, 202, 203, and X10 stopping right outside the office.
