- Analyse existing infrastructure and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Research and recommend appropriate technologies and solutions.
- Ensure infrastructure improvements align with cybersecurity objectives.
- Provide 3rd-line technical support and assist the IT support team with escalated issues.
- Undertake project-related activities designed to improve and support the IT estate.
- Participate in change management activities.
- Support joiner, mover and leaver processes, including device and account provisioning.
- Carry out regular patching, upgrades and preventative maintenance.
- Monitor infrastructure performance and undertake predictive failure analysis.
- Identify opportunities to automate and streamline processes.

- Produce technical documentation to support IT processes and workflows.
- Provide occasional support outside core hours for planned upgrades and maintenance.
- Travel to UK and European branch sites may occasionally be required.
