What you bring:

* Demonstrated experience as a systems administrator or similar role within relevant industries such as telecommunications or enterprise IT services.* Advanced proficiency working with Linux/Unix systems (including RedHat and Debian variants) alongside experience managing Windows Server and Desktop environments.* Strong scripting abilities using Bash, Powershell, or Ansible; familiarity with Python is considered advantageous for further automation initiatives.* Expertise in virtualisation platforms as well as container orchestration technologies-including associated tooling-to optimise resource utilisation across diverse workloads.* Hands-on knowledge of monitoring stacks such as Prometheus or Grafana along with log management solutions like ELK/EFK or their equivalents.* Proven ability to diagnose intricate technical problems using structured troubleshooting methodologies that minimise disruption to business operations.* Exceptional organisational skills enabling effective prioritisation of concurrent tasks within fast-evolving infrastructure landscapes.* Excellent written communication skills evidenced by the production of clear diagrams and professional documentation suitable for both technical audiences and stakeholders.* A collaborative mindset with a willingness to share knowledge openly while supporting colleagues' development within a communal team environment.* A commitment to upholding high standards of security compliance throughout all aspects of infrastructure management.
