Location: Milton Keynes (on-site role)
A leading national technology and distribution group is seeking a reliable, hands-on Infrastructure Engineer to manage and improve secure, high-availability systems across on-premise and Azure cloud environments.

Based primarily at the company’s Milton Keynes HQ, this is a delivery-focused role where ownership, consistency, and a collaborative attitude are valued just as highly as technical skill.

About the Role

You'll be part of a lean, supportive infrastructure team responsible for the day-to-day stability, security, and resilience of the group’s hybrid IT estate. The focus is on well-documented, repeatable processes, strong operational support, and proactive risk management.

You’ll also work closely with internal stakeholders on infrastructure initiatives and business-critical systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and support hybrid infrastructure across on-premise and Azure environments

  • Maintain servers, storage (SAN/NAS), firewalls, and networking infrastructure

  • Oversee patching, backups, disaster recovery plans, and system documentation

  • Respond to incidents quickly and methodically to reduce technical risk

  • Contribute to infrastructure upgrades and new deployments across sites

  • Collaborate within Agile-style workflows, including sprint planning and retrospectives

    What We’re Looking For

  • Solid background in Microsoft infrastructure, Azure, and virtualisation (VMware or Hyper-V)

  • Comfortable troubleshooting issues across networking, storage, and firewalls

  • Familiar with cybersecurity best practices, including endpoint protection

  • Well-organised, documentation-focused, and comfortable working in a structured, process-driven environment

  • Happy to be on-site full-time in Milton Keynes, with occasional travel to Birmingham

    Desirable Experience

  • Palo Alto or Fortinet firewalls

  • SAN/NAS provisioning and tuning (e.g. Dell, HPE)

  • LogicMonitor or similar infrastructure monitoring tools

  • Working knowledge of Agile within an IT operations team

    Why Join?

  • 5% performance bonus

  • 25–30 days holiday with long service awards and flexible options

  • Excellent pension and life assurance

  • Wellbeing & lifestyle benefits including cashback schemes and gym discounts

  • Access to LinkedIn Learning and ongoing professional development

  • Friendly, purpose-driven team with clear structure and support
