Azure Infrastructure Engineer - 12 Month Fixed-Term Contract

Location - Birmingham, Belfast or Croydon. Typical expectation is 2 days per week in the office.

***No visa sponsorships***

A growing professional services organisation is hiring an Infrastructure Engineer on a 12-month fixed-term contract to support a busy internal infrastructure team through a period of expansion and integration work.

The role

You’ll join a lean infrastructure function working across:

• Microsoft 365 at platform level
• Azure hosting and virtual machine environments
• SharePoint administration
• Conditional Access review and clean-up
• Datadog monitoring implementation
• Zscaler remote access and web filtering
• Proofpoint email security
• Some Meraki network infrastructure

This is a hands-on role with plenty of autonomy. You’ll be trusted to take ownership of projects, improve existing environments, and help tackle a growing pipeline of infrastructure and M&A-related work.

What they’re looking for

• Strong Azure infrastructure experience
• Good understanding of Microsoft 365 at platform level
• Experience supporting infrastructure in a mid-sized or larger organisation
• Broad infrastructure background rather than a narrow specialist focus
• Ability to work independently and drive improvements
• Exposure to monitoring tools and best practice alerting/dashboarding

Nice to have

• AWS experience
• Experience with M&A / systems integration
• Knowledge of Datadog
• Familiarity with Terraform / IaC
• Strong 3rd line engineers ready to step up may also be considered

Why consider it?

• High-impact role in a growing business
• Real scope to improve systems and processes
• Varied project work rather than BAU-only support
• No on-call and no always-on culture
• Opportunity to take ownership and make visible change
• Potential for longer-term opportunity beyond the initial term
