• Monitoring infrastructure performance, resilience and security
• Resolving complex infrastructure incidents and escalations
• Supporting new‑site integrations, migrations and infrastructure projects
• Maintaining technical documentation and infrastructure standards
• Working closely with service delivery, security, ERP and development teams

What we're looking for:

• Strong hands‑on experience administering Palo Alto firewalls
• Good knowledge of switches, VLANs, routing and network troubleshooting
• Infrastructure engineering experience across servers, storage, backups and virtualisation
• Strong Windows Server and Active Directory knowledge
• Experience with VMware and/or Hyper‑V
• Experience supporting a multi‑site infrastructure environment
• The ability to communicate effectively with both technical teams and business users
• A proactive approach and the confidence to take ownership of infrastructure issues

Experience with HPE infrastructure, Azure, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, PowerShell, Halo ITSM or manufacturing environments would be advantageous.
