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.

About the Role

You'll be part of a lean, supportive infrastructure team responsible for the day-to-day stability, security, and resilience of the group’s hybrid IT estate. The focus is on well-documented, repeatable processes, strong operational support, and proactive risk management.

You’ll also work closely with internal stakeholders on infrastructure initiatives and business-critical systems.

* Oversee patching, backups, disaster recovery plans, and system documentation

* Respond to incidents quickly and methodically to reduce technical risk

* 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

Why Join?

* 5% performance bonus

* 25–30 days holiday with long service awards and flexible options

* Excellent pension and life assurance

* Wellbeing & lifestyle benefits including cashback schemes and gym discounts

* Access to LinkedIn Learning and ongoing professional development

* Friendly, purpose-driven team with clear structure and support
