Senior Engineer (Projects) | £50,000 | Stoke-on-Trent

The Opportunity:

Join a technology-driven engineering organisation delivering resilient, secure infrastructure that supports critical national services. This role is centred on project delivery, platform engineering, and infrastructure transformation, with minimal focus on BAU support.

Working as part of a close-knit, office-based team, you'll take ownership of end-to-end infrastructure projects across on-prem and cloud environments - including virtualisation, networking, security, and Microsoft 365 platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Leading the design and delivery of infrastructure projects, from initial stages through to implementation and handover.
  • Driving cloud and Microsoft 365 initiatives, including migrations, tenant configuration, identity integration, and security enhancements.
  • Engineering and optimising hybrid infrastructure environments, integrating on-prem VMware platforms with cloud services.
  • Delivering platform improvements and transformation projects across compute, storage, networking, and identity.
  • Acting as a senior technical lead on projects, making key design decisions and ensuring best practice engineering standards.
  • Designing and implementing secure solutions (firewalls, VPNs, conditional access, endpoint security, Zero Trust principles).
  • Leading infrastructure upgrade and lifecycle projects, including major version upgrades, migrations, and re-platforming activities.
  • Contributing to ISO 27001 compliance projects, including control implementation, gap analysis, and audit readiness.
  • Designing and testing disaster recovery and business continuity solutions as part of project delivery.
  • Producing detailed technical designs, implementation plans, and documentation aligned to project outcomes.

About You:
You're a project-focused infrastructure engineer who enjoys building and delivering solutions rather than maintaining the status quo. You take ownership, think in terms of systems and architecture, and thrive in an environment where you can see tangible outcomes from your work.

This role requires full-time office presence, working closely with engineers and stakeholders to deliver complex technical projects.

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.
