Azure Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
12 Month Fixed Term Contract
Location:
Home Based / Southampton - onsite 2-3 days per month
Salary: up to £52,000+ on-call + excellent benefits
We are looking to recruit an Azure Cloud Infrastructure Engineer for a technology-driven public sector organisation.
This is a hands-on Azure infrastructure role focused on supporting, managing and improving a Microsoft cloud environment. The organisation is looking for someone with practical experience managing Azure tenants, subscriptions and cloud resources, not just Microsoft 365, Intune or Entra administration.
The successful candidate will act as a senior technical escalation point, helping to strengthen Azure governance, support cloud-first delivery, improve automation and close key skills gaps across Azure infrastructure, identity and operational support.
This is not a traditional on‑premise infrastructure role with occasional exposure to cloud, and it is not purely an Intune / Microsoft 365 administration role. The successful candidate will bring genuine hands‑on Azure experience, ideally alongside a good understanding of hybrid Microsoft environments.
This is a hybrid role and you will be required to work onsite at the client's Southampton office 2-3 days per month.
