As the company is ISO27001-certified, you will also be expected to have a strong grasp of cyber security, providing guidance to improve security measures. Your responsibilities will also include supporting and monitoring network infrastructure, such as firewalls, switches, and access points (APs).

      Key Technical Skills and Experience:

      • Hyper-V (or experience with VMware and willingness to transition to Hyper-V)
      • Windows Server (2012 to 2022)
      • Active Directory management, including Group Policy
      • Office 365 administration
      • SQL database management (highly desirable)
      • Networking – firewalls and access points

      This is an exceptional opportunity for a Systems Engineer (3rd Line) to join a forward-thinking organisation undergoing significant IT transformation. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and have a passion for infrastructure modernisation, this could be the perfect role for you!

      Key skills: Hyper-V, VMware, Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, Office 365, SQL, Networking, Firewalls.
