Manchester

£45,000 – £55,000 \+ Benefits

Excellent opportunity for a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer to join a growing team within a large, multi-site environment. This role will suit someone who enjoys working with physical infrastructure, building systems from scratch and playing a key role in project delivery rather than purely BAU support.

This organisation is a well-established UK business operating across secure and highly regulated environments, with a significant national presence. They are investing in their infrastructure team, adding multiple engineers to support growth and ongoing improvements across a large estate of over 90 sites and 1,000\+ servers.

In this role, you will be responsible for delivering infrastructure projects and supporting core systems across a predominantly on-prem environment. The position is heavily hands-on, including installing servers into racks, configuring systems from scratch, working with storage (SAN), and supporting core technologies such as Active Directory. Around 80% of the role is project-based, giving you the opportunity to be involved in real change and improvement work across the business.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in enterprise infrastructure environments, particularly with on-prem systems. You will be comfortable building and deploying infrastructure, have solid Active Directory experience, and be confident working across physical and virtual environments.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team where you can take ownership of infrastructure projects, develop your technical skills, and work within a business that values practical, hands-on engineering expertise.

The Role:

• Build, install and configure servers and infrastructure from the ground up
• Work with storage solutions (SAN) and core on-prem systems
• Deliver infrastructure projects across 90\+ sites (approx. 80% project work)
• Support and maintain Active Directory and core Microsoft environments
• Ensure systems are secure, patched and operating effectively

The Person:

• Strong hands-on infrastructure experience in an enterprise environment
• Experience installing servers, working with storage (SAN) and physical infrastructure
• Solid Active Directory experience (key requirement)
• Background in on-prem infrastructure (cloud beneficial but not essential)
• Full UK driving licence and able to obtain SC clearance
