• Develop and improve operational documentation, standards and support procedures.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, security and application teams to deliver reliable technology services.

• Exposure to backup and recovery platforms.
• Good understanding of networking, storage and infrastructure security concepts.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across multiple technology teams.

Why Apply?

• Work with modern server and virtualisation platforms.
• Be part of a collaborative infrastructure team focused on operational excellence.
• Opportunity to contribute to platform reliability, security and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Long-term contract with genuine enterprise-scale infrastructure exposure.
