You’ll have hands-on experience managing cloud and hybrid systems, networks, storage and virtualised platforms, alongside solid knowledge of Microsoft 365, Azure, and endpoint management tools such as Intune.
You’ll also be a clear communicator and proactive problem solver, able to stay calm under pressure and comfortable working across multiple priorities.
If you're passionate about technology, thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy seeing the tangible impact of your work, this is a fantastic opportunity.
