We are supporting a major consultancy on a high-priority programme, seeking up to three Wintel Engineers to join their infrastructure team based in Stevenage. This is a key technical support role, offering a blend of hands-on system administration, user support, and occasional project work.

The role is fully on-site to begin with, due to the sensitive nature of the work. However, hybrid flexibility may be introduced depending on project phases.

• Optional overtime for those who want to earn more

What you’ll be doing:

As a Wintel Engineer, you'll be responsible for providing advanced support across a large Windows-based environment, supporting both physical and virtual infrastructure. You’ll work alongside a collaborative team of 7 engineers, with four in Stevenage and others in Bristol and Bolton.

Key responsibilities include:

• Support and administration of Windows Server environments
• Management of Windows OS (primarily Windows 10/11)
• Maintenance and troubleshooting of Active Directory
• Working with VMware for virtualisation tasks
• Performing physical server builds, racking, and maintenance
• Responding to incidents and fulfilling service requests
• Contributing to ongoing service improvement and occasional project deployments
• Collaborating with wider teams and maintaining relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Windows Server support & administration
• Desktop support for Windows 10/11
• Active Directory administration
• VMware support
• Previous experience working on a service desk using tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, Freshdesk etc
• Experience with physical server builds (racking and cabling)
• Scripting (PowerShell, Python, CLI)
• Networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, Cisco)
• Familiarity with tools like Exchange, SQL Server, Skype for Business

Security Clearance

Active SC clearance is preferred; however, candidates eligible for SC and willing to progress to Developed Vetting (DV) will be considered. SC clearance is currently taking approximately 5–7 weeks to complete.

If you're a hands-on infrastructure support professional looking for a secure, well-structured environment with plenty of progression opportunities and zero on-call stress, we’d love to hear from you.
