  • Manage and maintain Windows Server environments across multiple versions
  • Carry out balance sheet-level infrastructure tasks such as backups, monitoring and performance tuning
  • Work closely with Service Desk, Projects and third-party providers to ensure smooth service delivery
  • Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement of processes
  • Support change management processes and implement approved changes

Core Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience in Windows Server environments (2012–2022)
  • Solid understanding of Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP
  • Experience with virtualisation technologies (VMware and/or Hyper-V)
  • Good knowledge of backup and recovery solutions (e.g. Veeam, Commvault)
  • Experience supporting enterprise infrastructure environments
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across infrastructure layers
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced support environment with competing priorities

Desirable (not essential)

  • Exposure to Microsoft Azure or other cloud platforms
  • Basic understanding of Identity (Entra ID / Azure AD)
  • Experience with infrastructure automation (e.g. PowerShell, Terraform, Bicep)
  • Familiarity with firewalls and networking fundamentals
  • Experience with monitoring tools (e.g. SCOM)
