This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a multi-skilled agile environment, where knowledge-sharing and hands-on technical delivery go hand-in-hand.
This role will involve working closely with Network Architects and Project Managers to deliver, configure and document technical solutions from a wide range of vendors and technologies. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced setting, take pride in robust documentation, and enjoy seeing your work move from design to production, then this role could be the perfect fit for you.
What you will be doing:
Leading the delivery of a technical work package from design through to prototyping and user piloting
Modifying design documentation to address potential defects or evolving requirements
Supporting your work package post-deployment, including early life support and documentation
Collaborating with project teams to integrate solutions in a structured and agile workflow
Building and maintaining automated deployment scripts using Ansible and Terraform
Designing repeatable unit tests for both desired and undesired outcomes
Delivering configuration change to Microsoft environments via GPO, Registry, Filesystem, PowerShell, WMI, and Windows Installer
Troubleshooting technical issues across Linux and Windows platforms
Essential Skills and Experience:
Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Windows system administration in an enterprise setting
Experience configuring Linux environments (RHEL, CentOS) and automating deployment
Batch scripting with a solid understanding of networking fundamentals and IP packet structure
Strong hands-on experience using PowerShell and Python for scripting, automation and test development
Background in web development with Apache and PHP
Familiarity with Active Directory, PKI, VMWare virtualisation, Windows Server 2019 and gold image creation
Exposure to Agile methodologies for the delivery of software and infrastructure solutions
Understanding of system hardening, GPOs, and Nexus configuration repositories
Experience in DevOps environments and automated test execution using Robot Framework
This is a rare opportunity to join a dynamic team working on cutting-edge integrations across both Windows and Linux technologies. You'll be part of a culture that values expertise, autonomy, and continuous improvement.
