Duration: 6-12 month FTC
We are working with a leading services business to find an IT Infrastructure Engineer for a fixed term position supporting a multi-site organisation. The business currently runs its core infrastructure on a Nutanix platform on premise, uses Microsoft 365, Azure and Intune for productivity, identity and device management, and is moving more of its infrastructure from on premises into the cloud.
The role covers two areas of work:
- Running, maintaining and troubleshooting the existing infrastructure, including the Nutanix clusters and the Microsoft environment.
- Taking an active part in migrating infrastructure from on premises to cloud environments.
You will be responsible for the hands-on administration of these systems, so the role suits someone who builds, configures and fixes things directly rather than overseeing others who do so.

Cloud migration
- Plan and carry out the migration of infrastructure workloads from on premises to cloud environments.
- Test migrated services to confirm they work correctly before and after cutover.
- Document the configuration of migrated systems so they can be supported going forward.
Multi-site support
- Support infrastructure across multiple sites, including network equipment and application delivery platforms.
Experience Required
- Experience administering Microsoft 365, Azure and Intune, including creating and deploying configurations yourself.
