They’re investing heavily in modernisation, cloud adoption, and infrastructure uplift, and they’ve asked us to identify someone with deep experience across virtualisation, Windows Server, SQL, Citrix, and cloud-hosted applications.

The Role

You’ll work closely with the Head of IT to lead infrastructure projects, modernise legacy systems, and drive cloud-focused improvements. The environment is a mix of on-premises and cloud, and the business is looking for someone who can bring structure, engineering depth, and technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead infrastructure projects across virtualisation, server upgrades, cloud migrations, and platform modernisation
  • Own and enhance the Windows Server, VMware, and storage environment
  • Support and optimise SQL Server environments, including HA configurations
  • Contribute to cloud-hosted application delivery (Azure-hosted solutions, D365/AX)
  • Improve and maintain Citrix/RDS environments where required
  • Oversee data centre operations, virtual server deployments, and core infrastructure services
  • Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex issues
  • Work with stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver robust solutions
  • Drive best practice across security, patching, monitoring, and resilience
  • Produce documentation, standards, and contribute to long-term technical planning

Tech Environment

  • Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy
  • VMware (vSphere/ESXi), virtualisation, storage
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Citrix (Metaframe, XenDesktop)
  • Microsoft Dynamics AX / D365 (on-prem and Azure-hosted)
  • Azure services, cloud-hosted applications
  • Networking fundamentals (switching, firewalls, VPN)
  • Backup, DR, monitoring, patching tools

What We’re Looking For

  • Deep experience in infrastructure engineering across Windows, VMware, SQL, and virtualisation
  • Strong background delivering infrastructure projects end-to-end
  • Experience with cloud-hosted applications (Azure, D365/AX)
  • Comfortable working in a senior technical role with autonomy and ownership
  • Ability to modernise environments and improve stability, performance, and security
  • Strong communicator who can work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Someone who enjoys solving complex problems and shaping technical direction

If this sounds like the right next step for you, 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.
