Are you an Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys working on complex, secure technology environments where your work genuinely matters?

We are supporting a major Defence programme, building and maintaining mission-critical infrastructure that underpins secure services across the Defence landscape. This is not a routine support role. You will be working in a highly secure environment, solving technical challenges, supporting critical systems, and contributing to a programme with real national importance.

We are looking for experienced Infrastructure Engineers with strong Wintel and VMware skills, ideally gained within Defence, MoD, government, or similarly secure and regulated environments.

This role would suit someone who enjoys hands-on engineering, problem-solving, and working closely with technical teams to deliver reliable, secure infrastructure services.

This role is full time on site in the Hertfordshire area.

What you will be doing:

  • Build, configure, support, and maintain secure infrastructure across Wintel and VMware environments.
  • Troubleshoot incidents and technical issues across servers, virtualisation, storage, and associated infrastructure services.
  • Support infrastructure upgrades, patching, deployments, and service improvements.
  • Work closely with architecture, networks, security, and application teams to deliver joined-up technical solutions.
  • Maintain clear technical documentation, operational procedures, and configuration records.
  • Ensure infrastructure services meet security, availability, and operational requirements within a Defence environment.

What you will bring:

  • Strong experience in Wintel infrastructure engineering and support.
  • Experience working with VMware technologies in enterprise environments.
  • Good understanding of Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and core infrastructure services.
  • Experience supporting secure, complex, or regulated environments, ideally Defence or MoD.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to work across technical teams.

It would be great if you had:

  • Experience with automation, monitoring, backup, or storage technologies.
  • Experience working on large-scale transformation, migration, or greenfield infrastructure programmes.

If you are interested in this role but not sure if your skills and experience are exactly what we’re looking for, please do apply, we’d love to hear from you!

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
