Infrastructure Engineer

My client is a growing technology-led business that has recently completed a major investment in its on-premise infrastructure, including a brand-new data centre environment and significant investment in AI infrastructure.

They're looking to hire an Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of the day-to-day infrastructure estate whilst supporting a range of infrastructure and technology projects. This is a broad, hands‑on role offering genuine ownership and the opportunity to work with modern technologies in an environment that is continuing to invest heavily in its IT platform.

The Role

Reporting to the IT Director and working closely with the Systems Administrator, you'll play a key role in maintaining, improving and evolving the company's infrastructure across multiple business functions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Administration and support of Windows Server and Linux environments.
• Managing and maintaining virtualisation platforms (VMware, Hyper‑V, Proxmox or similar).
• Developing and maintaining Power Shell automation (essential).
• Infrastructure monitoring, patching and security.
• Managing SQL Server infrastructure, including availability, resilience and maintenance (no SQL development required).
• Supporting networking, connectivity and core infrastructure services.
• Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity.
• Delivering infrastructure upgrades and project work from planning through to implementation.
• Supporting the infrastructure underpinning the company's growing AI platform and GPU compute environment.

About You

My client is looking for someone with strong infrastructure fundamentals who enjoys working across a broad technology estate and wants to continue developing their technical skills.

You'll ideally have:

• Commercial Power Shell scripting experience.
• Experience with VMware, Hyper‑V, Proxmox or another enterprise virtualisation platform.
• SQL Server administration from an infrastructure perspective.
• Experience supporting production environments.
• Experience with Docker, GPU infrastructure or AI platforms would be advantageous but isn't essential.

Why Join?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business investing heavily in technology and AI.

Recent investment includes a new data centre environment alongside approximately £150,000 invested in AI server infrastructure. The business is already running internal AI applications supporting stock management, logistics, ordering and sales, with plans to double its GPU capacity over the coming months.

You'll be joining a collaborative technology team where you'll have genuine ownership, exposure to interesting project work and the opportunity to develop alongside a rapidly evolving infrastructure environment.
