Job description

The Opportunity

If you're an experienced infrastructure consultant who's ready to broaden your cloud skillset — and wants real autonomy to do it — this role is built for you.

We're growing, and we're looking for a Senior Technical Consultant who's as comfortable in an on-premise infrastructure environment as they are architecting hybrid solutions in Microsoft Azure. You'll work directly with a varied customer base, tackling different challenges every week, while also having genuine input into how our technical services evolve — including our growing focus on AI-backed solutions.

This isn't a role where you'll be boxed into a single technology stack or ticket queue. You'll get variety, ownership of your own projects, and the freedom to keep learning — backed by a team that wants to invest in where the industry is heading next.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading consultancy engagements across hybrid infrastructure — design, implementation, migration and support
• Delivering Azure IaaS deployments and hybrid integration projects for customers
• Bringing deep expertise in on-premise compute, storage, and networking
• Working across VMware and at least one alternative platform (Hyper‑V, Proxmox, or OpenShift)
• Shaping technical solutions, documentation, and best practice as our offering evolves
• Building genuine, trusted‑advisor relationships directly with customers
• Owning your own workload and priorities across multiple concurrent projects
• Collaborating with internal teams to help shape and grow our service offerings — including where AI fits in

What You'll Bring

• Experience in a hybrid infrastructure or infrastructure consultancy role
• Solid, hands‑on understanding of Microsoft Azure IaaS
• Strong on‑prem compute knowledge — VMware essential, plus Hyper‑V, OpenShift, or similar
• Experience with on‑prem storage and networking technologies
• A natural, confident communicator who's comfortable owning the customer relationship
• Self‑motivated and organised, with the ability to manage your own priorities

Nice to have

• Relevant professional certifications (Microsoft, VMware, Cisco etc.)
• A background in MSP or consultancy — this is highly valued

The Person We're Looking For

You're a confident communicator, equally at ease with technical and non‑technical stakeholders. You're naturally curious — the kind of person who enjoys picking up new technologies rather than being told to. You take a genuinely consultative approach with customers, and you're reliable, professional, and take pride in what you deliver.

Why Join Us

• Highly competitive base salary + car allowance
• Genuine flexible working — after a short induction period, this becomes a largely remote role with office visits typically just twice a month
• Room to grow into cloud and AI — this role is designed to develop your skillset, not just use what you already have
• Variety and autonomy — no two weeks look the same, and you'll have real ownership of your work
• 24 days annual leave, plus statutory bank holidays
• Life assurance
• Home‑working IT equipment provided
• Employee Assistance Programme

A Note on Flexibility

For the first few months, we'd like you based in the office (Alcester) 2–3 days a week (when you're not on customer sites) — this helps you get properly embedded with the team and our ways of working. After that, it's fully flexible, with office visits normally just twice a month.

Ready for a role with real variety, autonomy, and a clear path into cloud and AI? We'd love to hear from you.
