Senior Windows Server Administrator
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 + benefits
Location: Southampton, office based
12 Month Fixed Term Contract
You will take ownership of complex Windows Server and infrastructure challenges, supporting a broad environment covering server, virtualisation, storage, file, email and collaboration technologies. The business needs someone who can be trusted as a senior technical escalation point, particularly when incidents are high priority, time-sensitive, or visible to senior stakeholders.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to follow runbooks. You will be expected to understand how systems fit together, diagnose issues under pressure, explain your thinking clearly, and help less experienced administrators develop their own technical capability.
In the role, you will:
- Lead troubleshooting across Windows Server environments
- Act as a senior escalation point for complex infrastructure issues
- Support projects involving virtualisation and hyper-converged infrastructure
- Contribute to the move from VMware towards Azure Local
- Work across technologies including server, storage, file, email and collaboration systems
- Help define technical priorities, improvements and roadmap activity
- Mentor other IT Administrators within the team
- Support security, resilience, capacity and regulatory requirements
- Research new technologies and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions
The most important requirements are strong Windows Server experience and excellent troubleshooting ability. You should be confident investigating issues properly, using tools such as event logs, understanding areas such as Active Directory, Group Policy, replication, certificates and wider infrastructure dependencies. xsabvtc
