Mentor and develop engineers, building technical capability and fostering a culture of excellence.
Contribute to technology strategy, feasibility studies, and innovation initiatives.
Engage confidently with stakeholders, presenting technical solutions and influencing decisions.
What You'll Bring
Proven technical expertise across multiple infrastructure domains, with a track record of delivering secure solutions.
Strong balance between hands-on engineering and technical leadership.
A problem-solving mindset and the ability to innovate under pressure.
Experience with:
Windows and Linux operating systems
Virtualisation platforms (VMware, Hyper-V) and containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker)
Networking (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, firewalls)
Automation and scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform)
Cyber security controls and accreditation processes
Systems engineering lifecycle from design to deployment
Desirable Skills
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform)
Integration of enterprise services such as Active Directory, PKI, SIEM, and monitoring tools
Hands-on with DevSecOps tools and CI/CD pipelines
Relevant industry certifications (VMware VCP, AWS Solutions Architect, Microsoft, Kubernetes, etc.)
