Infrastructure Automation Engineer

Infrastructure Automation Engineer| Inside IR35 | Hybrid (3 days onsite in Hertfordshire) | Initial 3 months | Likely extension

We’re supporting a major enterprise technology services provider on a critical infrastructure resilience programme for one of the UK’s most complex and recognisable enterprise environments. This is an opportunity for a hands‑on Infrastructure Automation Engineer to join a fast‑paced programme focused on improving large‑scale recovery capability through automation, orchestration, and platform integration. If you come from an enterprise infrastructure background but have moved heavily into scripting, automation, and systems integration, this could be a strong fit.

This programme is focused on modernising recovery capability across a large enterprise infrastructure estate. Rather than relying on manual recovery processes or static documentation, the focus is on building automation‑led recovery workflows using live infrastructure data, API integrations, and orchestration tooling. You’ll be working across a broad technology landscape, helping to integrate infrastructure platforms, automate operational processes, and improve resilience across a business‑critical environment.

This is very much a delivery‑focused engineering role rather than traditional infrastructure support.
