Infrastructure Engineer

Up to £60,000 + 10% Bonus + 10% Pension + On-Call Allowance

Hybrid

If you’re the kind of infrastructure engineer who likes understanding how things fit together, not just clicking through a portal, this is a strong opportunity.

This role suits someone who enjoys proper infrastructure and already has genuine Azure experience. Ideally, you’ll also understand on-prem environments and what sits behind the cloud, because this is a business moving a large part of its estate into Azure the right way.

You’ll be joining at the start of a major migration journey. Around 70% of the on-prem estate is planned to move into Azure over the next 2 to 3 years, with a longer-term goal of reaching 80 to 90% in the cloud. So this is real transformation, not just talk.

It offers a strong mix of core infrastructure and cloud exposure.

You’ll stay close to the on-prem environment that keeps the business running, but the bigger driver here is Azure. The preference is someone with genuine hands‑on Azure experience who can contribute meaningfully to the migration, while also being comfortable supporting and understanding the on-prem estate behind it.

What matters is that you understand how environments are built properly. Not just how to spin up a server, but how networking, connectivity, storage, identity and access all fit together. That includes understanding how IAM, RBAC and security profiles should be structured and applied properly across a hybrid environment.

This is not a pure Dev Ops role. It’s a broad infrastructure position with a clear cloud trajectory.

You’ll work across:

• On-prem infrastructure including VMWare, Windows Server, storage and backup
• Nimble storage and Veeam
• DR technologies including Zerto and Brocade
• Azure migration work including lift and shift, replication, and some movement towards SaaS
• Landing zones and connectivity, including site-to-site VPN and Express Route
• Azure IAM, RBAC and wider access control configuration

A delivery partner is supporting the migration, so you won’t be expected to lead the full programme alone. You will, however, play a meaningful role in it and help ensure the work is being done well.

This is more than BAU support. It’s a chance to stay hands‑on with core infrastructure while using your Azure experience in a role where it will genuinely matter.

There is an on‑call element. The rota is currently 1 week in 6. Calls are generally infrequent, but this is still an environment where out‑of‑hours support can be needed. You’ll receive an on‑call allowance, plus additional hourly payment if called upon beyond the agreed terms.

Package:

• Salary up to £60,000
• 10% bonus
• On‑call allowance
• Wider benefits package

This is a strong fit for someone who wants a genuine infrastructure role, real Azure involvement, and the chance to be part of a major migration that will shape the estate for years to come.
