Senior Engineer (Projects) | £50,000 | Stoke-on-Trent

The Opportunity:

Join a technology-driven engineering organisation delivering resilient, secure infrastructure that supports critical national services. This role is centred on project delivery, platform engineering, and infrastructure transformation, with minimal focus on BAU support.

Working as part of a close-knit, office-based team, you'll take ownership of end-to-end infrastructure projects across on-prem and cloud environments - including virtualisation, networking, security, and Microsoft 365 platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Leading the design and delivery of infrastructure projects, from initial stages through to implementation and handover.
  • Driving cloud and Microsoft 365 initiatives, including migrations, tenant configuration, identity integration, and security enhancements.
  • Engineering and optimising hybrid infrastructure environments, integrating on-prem VMware platforms with cloud services.
  • Delivering platform improvements and transformation projects across compute, storage, networking, and identity.
  • Acting as a senior technical lead on projects, making key design decisions and ensuring best practice engineering standards.
  • Designing and implementing secure solutions (firewalls, VPNs, conditional access, endpoint security, Zero Trust principles).
  • Leading infrastructure upgrade and lifecycle projects, including major version upgrades, migrations, and re-platforming activities.
  • Contributing to ISO 27001 compliance projects, including control implementation, gap analysis, and audit readiness.
  • Designing and testing disaster recovery and business continuity solutions as part of project delivery.
  • Producing detailed technical designs, implementation plans, and documentation aligned to project outcomes.

About You:
You're a project-focused infrastructure engineer who enjoys building and delivering solutions rather than maintaining the status quo. You take ownership, think in terms of systems and architecture, and thrive in an environment where you can see tangible outcomes from your work.

This role requires full-time office presence, working closely with engineers and stakeholders to deliver complex technical projects.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
