Summary
Job Description
Based at Angus House, Orchardbank Business Park, Forfar.
This job is workstyle 5 - Hybrid+.
You will have the opportunity to benefit from our flexible and agile working practices. This means you will work from home for part of your week and spend some time in council buildings to best suit your work, meetings and collaboration.
We’re on the lookout for a talented and motivated IT Engineer to join our Infrastructure team here at Angus Council. If you're passionate about technology, love solving problems, and want to make a real difference in how public services are delivered, we’d love to hear from you.
You’ll be right at the heart of our IT operations—supporting and developing the systems that keep our council and schools running smoothly. Using both Microsoft365 and AWS cloud platforms, Microsoft Azure Portal, physical and virtual servers and desktops, software deployment, backups and end user devices, you’ll help us stay secure, efficient, and future-ready.
You’ll also get involved in exciting digital transformation projects, working with colleagues across the organisation and contributing your technical know-how to make things better for everyone.
For candidates not fully qualified it is essential that you have some experience of Infrastructure Servers and Cloud Computing.
Angus Council is committed to working flexibly and equipment will be provided to support working from home. We are looking for applicants with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, the desire and ability to work collectively and become a key team member.
This role is part of a Professional Career Grade structure, which means your development is built in and will determine your entry point based on qualifications and experience:
LG8: (£32660-£36270) Starting out with an HND and some hands-on experience? We’ll support you as you grow.
LG9: (£36818-£39,956) Got 3+ years under your belt? You’ll take on more responsibility and lead technical work.
LG10: (£40,636 - £45,815) Ready to lead infrastructure strategy? With 5+ years’ experience, you’ll help shape the future of our IT services.
Work your way
We know life isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer flexible working options, including hybrid arrangements. If you prefer working from home, we’ll make sure you have the right kit—just bring a good broadband connection and a quiet space to focus.
Why join Angus Council?
We’re a forward-thinking council with a strong focus on digital innovation. You’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team that values your ideas and invests in your growth. Plus, you’ll be helping to deliver services that really matter to people across Angus.`
