Working alongside experienced engineers and company founders, you'll act as an escalation point for complex technical issues while taking ownership of server, storage, networking and data centre technologies across a diverse client base.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is equally comfortable configuring virtual infrastructure as they are installing equipment in a rack or visiting client sites.

- Manage and maintain Windows Server and Hyper-V environments.
- Support and administer storage solutions including iSCSI and Synology platforms.

- Manage VLANs, network segmentation and routing.
- Support firewall and VPN technologies including pfSense.
- Carry out server installations, upgrades and migrations.
- Perform physical rack builds, equipment installations and data centre work.
- Assist with infrastructure projects across client environments.
- Conduct occasional on-site visits to client locations across London.
- Participate in an ad-hoc on-call rota when required.
- Maintain clear technical documentation and support records.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience working within an MSP environment.
- Strong experience supporting Windows Server infrastructure.
- Experience administering Hyper-V environments.
- Good understanding of storage technologies including iSCSI and Synology.
- Networking experience covering switching, VLANs and routing.
- Experience supporting firewalls and VPN connectivity.
- Comfortable working within server rooms and data centre environments.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of technical issues.
Desirable Skills
- Experience with pfSense firewalls.
- Exposure to BGP routing.
- Experience supporting larger or more complex network environments.
- Previous involvement in infrastructure migrations and project delivery.
What's on Offer
- Salary of £40,000 - £50,000 depending on experience.
- 28 days annual leave including Bank Holidays.
- Travel expenses covered.
- Gym membership.
- Ongoing training and development opportunities.
- Exposure to a wide range of infrastructure and networking technologies.
- A supportive, open and enthusiastic team environment.
- Genuine opportunity to grow into a senior infrastructure and projects-focused role.
