A leading national technology and distribution group is seeking a reliable, hands-on Infrastructure Engineer to manage and improve secure, high-availability systems across on-premise and Azure cloud environments.

Based primarily at the company’s Milton Keynes HQ, this is a delivery-focused role where ownership, consistency, and a collaborative attitude are valued just as highly as technical skill.

• Contribute to infrastructure upgrades and new deployments across sites
• Collaborate within Agile-style workflows, including sprint planning and retrospectives

What We’re Looking For

• Solid background in Microsoft infrastructure, Azure, and virtualisation (VMware or Hyper-V)
• Comfortable troubleshooting issues across networking, storage, and firewalls
• Familiar with cybersecurity best practices, including endpoint protection
• Well-organised, documentation-focused, and comfortable working in a structured, process-driven environment
• Happy to be on-site full-time in Milton Keynes, with occasional travel to Birmingham

Desirable Experience

• Palo Alto or Fortinet firewalls
• SAN/NAS provisioning and tuning (e.g. Dell, HPE)
• LogicMonitor or similar infrastructure monitoring tools
• Working knowledge of Agile within an IT operations team
