Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure Engineer 
MUST HAVE ACTIVE SC/DV CLEARANCE
£550–£600 per day | Inside IR35 | 12-Month Contract | London – Full-Time On Site
I'm currently working with a leading global IT services and technology consultancy on an exciting Infrastructure Engineer opportunity, supporting a highly secure UK public sector organisation operating within the national security sector.

IMPORTANT – ACTIVE SECURITY CLEARANCE IS ESSENTIAL
Candidates must already hold active SC or DV security clearance to be considered. If you do not currently hold active SC or DV clearance, you will not be eligible for this opportunity. Candidates holding active SC clearance will be supported with an uplift to DV once in post.

The Opportunity
The organisation is looking for a strong all-round Infrastructure Engineer with solid foundations across enterprise infrastructure and systems engineering.
You'll be working across a varied technology environment, covering virtualisation, Windows and Linux infrastructure, networking, storage, backup and disaster recovery. Alongside these traditional infrastructure technologies, there is also an interest in engineers who bring exposure to modern cloud platforms, automation, containerisation and Infrastructure as Code.

This isn't a role where you need to tick every technology box. The priority is finding someone with strong infrastructure fundamentals, good technical breadth and depth, and the ability to work across different areas of an enterprise environment.
