The Professional Services function delivers structured, outcome driven technical engagements that help customers design, implement, and optimise their infrastructure, spanning both on premises data centres and Microsoft Azure.
This is a hybrid, delivery focused, customer facing role covering data centre infrastructure and Microsoft Azure. You will implement and migrate infrastructure across Windows Server, virtualisation and compute platforms, storage, clustering, backup, and disaster recovery, and deliver Azure infrastructure and hybrid identity workloads alongside them. Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 is desirable. You will work closely with pre-sales, Principal Consultants, Architects, and operational teams to deliver high quality, supportable solutions aligned to agreed standards.

What You Will Do

• Provide hands‑on design and delivery expertise across data centre, hybrid, and Azure environments, acting as the customer's main technical point of contact during engagements.
• Support pre‑sales engagements, contributing to solution definition, technical assurance, and scoping of infrastructure, migration, and business continuity opportunities.
• Take handover of solution designs from Pre‑Sales Architects, review the agreed scope, define how the solution will be delivered, and flag any gaps or out‑of‑scope requirements before delivery begins.
• Implement and deploy secure, resilient, well‑documented Microsoft Azure infrastructure and hybrid identity solutions, including landing zones, virtual machines, storage, networking, hybrid connectivity, Entra , and Azure Monitor, aligned to the Azure Well‑Architected Framework and operational support standards.
• Design and deploy Windows Server platforms and core directory services, including Active Directory Domain Services, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, certificate services, and hybrid identity through Entra Connect.
• Design and deploy resilient compute and storage platforms, including failover clustering, high availability, shared and software‑defined storage, and the backup and replication that underpins them.
• Lead and support migration of customer server estates, including physical‑to‑virtual, virtual‑to‑virtual, data centre relocation, and migration of workloads into Microsoft Azure.
• Deliver backup and disaster recovery solutions, including One Advanced BaaS and DRaaS services, replication tooling, RTO/RPO design, and DR testing.
• Implement security hardening and compliance baselines, including CIS hardening, PKI, encryption at rest and in transit, and access control.
• Contribute to automation and standardisation using Terraform, Power Shell, agreed runbooks, and reference architectures.
• Deliver engagements to agreed time, cost, and quality targets, communicating progress, risks, and dependencies clearly and flagging scope change early.
• Work with operational teams to ensure environments are supportable, resilient, and well documented.
• Produce clear, structured technical design documentation and support service handover activities.
• Act as an escalation resource for complex infrastructure incidents and technical challenges.
• Build trust and long‑term relationships with customers as a representative of the wider business.
