AI & Infrastructure Engineer
Rochdale | £45,000 to £50,000 + 25% Bonus + Benefits | Hybrid – 3 Days Office-Based
An excellent opportunity for an IT Support or Infrastructure Engineer to join a large, established organisation with a £180m turnover and 7,500 employees, as it begins to invest in AI and automation.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a solid Microsoft 365 and Azure who wants to get more involved in AI, automation and emerging technologies alongside their infrastructure responsibilities. You don't need to be an AI specialist already but some exposure to it and AI Agents either commercially or in your own time will be needed.
The Role
Working closely with the AI Software Engineer, you will help maintain the infrastructure, platforms and applications that support the organisation's growing use of AI and automation.
Responsibilities
- Administering cloud, hosting and AI platforms, including user accounts, access rights, environments, API keys and usage monitoring.
- Deploying, monitoring and maintaining internal applications and AI agents, troubleshooting issues and escalating where necessary.
- Supporting Microsoft 365 and Azure services, including Entra ID, SharePoint, Teams, permissions and Power Platform integrations.
- Onboarding colleagues onto approved AI tools, managing licenses and providing guidance on their safe and effective use.
- Supporting data connections, scheduled jobs and simple automations, with opportunities to contribute to development projects.
- Maintaining system documentation, configuration records, support procedures and recovery plans.
- Applying security best practices, including multi-factor authentication, access controls, patching and monitoring.
- Setting up and supporting devices and technology used for automation, meeting capture and digital signage.
- Monitoring platform usage, costs and incidents, identifying opportunities to improve reliability and efficiency.
- Assisting with testing and the rollout of new tools and technologies across the business.
