• Design, build, and optimise infrastructure monitoring environments using tools such as LogicMonitor and SolarWinds.

• Collaborate with technical and business teams to understand systems and create tailored monitoring solutions that improve visibility and performance.

• Produce clear reports and dashboards to communicate system status, health, and incident trends.

• Automate monitoring and reporting tasks using PowerShell, Perl, or Bash.

• Contribute to automation initiatives as the organisation moves towards "automation from code."

• Support integration of new tools, including AnswerBall (implementation planned).

• Maintain accurate documentation and ensure compliance with security and change management processes.

• Proven experience in infrastructure monitoring and administration.

• Strong understanding of monitoring environments and reporting.

• Hands-on experience with LogicMonitor and/or SolarWinds.
