Server & Application Implementation Engineer

IT Server & Application Implementation Engineer – 6-Month Contract – London – £500 per day Outside IR35

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced IT Contractor to join a well-established organisation embarking on a significant infrastructure and application upgrade. This is a six-month contract role based in London, reporting to the IT Infrastructure Manager, and is set to begin on the 4th of August. The successful candidate will play a lead role in delivering critical technical projects involving server implementation, Oracle database migration, and enterprise application deployment.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong track record in delivering hands-on infrastructure projects within complex environments. You will be responsible for the end-to-end planning and installation of new physical servers across dual data centre locations. Working closely with external partners, you will oversee the migration of existing Oracle databases onto the new server infrastructure, including version upgrades where appropriate. Your ability to manage and coordinate this process efficiently, while maintaining high standards of system availability and performance, will be essential.

In parallel, you will work with application vendors to deploy a new integrated business system, ensuring it is configured to meet operational requirements. This will involve close collaboration with internal IT teams, third-party support services, and business stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and minimal disruption to business operations.

Security and resilience are key, and you will be expected to configure robust backup, disaster recovery, and system security measures throughout the implementation. As part of the wider IT compliance framework, all work must align with established policies, standards, and governance protocols.

Beyond technical execution, thorough documentation will be a core responsibility. You will maintain clear records of system configurations, procedures, and changes to ensure smooth knowledge transfer and support continuity. Post-deployment support and troubleshooting will also fall under your remit, ensuring the new infrastructure and application are fully bedded in and functioning as expected.

We’re looking for a self-sufficient contractor with a deep understanding of server technologies including Windows Server and Linux, alongside experience with core services such as Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy. Familiarity with enterprise application deployment—especially within Citrix environments—will be highly beneficial. A sound grasp of networking and IT security fundamentals will round out your skill set.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently while managing tight project timelines are essential. Ideally, you\’ll also have scripting experience with PowerShell and hold a relevant certification such as Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Associate. Previous experience in a similar contract role would be a strong advantage.
