Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Senior Infrastructure Engineer | Hybrid / Lincoln | £55,000 – £65,000

Peaple Talent is partnering with a leading professional services organisation seeking an experienced Senior Infrastructure Engineer to take technical ownership of their core IT environment and play a key role in shaping future technology direction.

You’ll work across a mature infrastructure landscape, ensuring secure, stable, and high-performing systems while leading the organisation’s ongoing transformation into Microsoft Azure.

This is a hands-on, senior-level technical role, ideal for someone who enjoys deep technical work, influencing best practice, and driving modernisation without people-management responsibilities.

What You’ll Do

• Manage and optimise infrastructure, networking, servers, storage, backups, and security
• Support and drive the move to Microsoft Azure (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
• Ensure high availability, resilience, and performance through proactive monitoring and maintenance
• Define and implement IT policies, standards, and procedures
• Act as a senior escalation point for complex technical issues
• Oversee disaster recovery, business continuity, and cybersecurity initiatives
• Perform regular system updates, patching, and maintenance — including occasional out-of-hours work
• Work closely with stakeholders and vendors to deliver robust solutions

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in IT infrastructure roles, with strong senior-level experience
• Proven expertise in Microsoft Azure and cloud migration projects
• Solid understanding of networking, virtualisation, storage, and security
• Familiarity with ITIL and best-practice service management
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Strong problem-solving ability and a proactive approach to system reliability and improvement
• Relevant certifications (Microsoft, VMware, ITIL, etc.) are desirable

Why It’s a Great Fit

You’ll have the autonomy to influence infrastructure direction, drive cloud adoption, and own high-impact technical work. It’s a chance to be the senior technical backbone of a growing, forward-thinking organisation.
