Our client is a specialist defence technology company delivering secure, mission-critical infrastructure for high-profile UK defense programmes. Financially strong and growing, they're winning significant new work, including technology that's new to the UK defence sector. They want an Infrastructure Engineer keen to grow with an ambitious business.

- Deliver VMware-based private cloud environments, plus Windows and Linux
- Support Cisco and Juniper networking
- Take ownership in an agile, non-prescriptive team
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- Infrastructure experience across VMware, Windows and/or Linux
- Attitude over box-ticking: past hires with limited VMware were trained up
- Architect-level candidates welcome at the top of the range or beyond
- Based on the M4 or M3 corridor, near Reading / Basingstoke
- High-level government security clearance. Sole UK nationals only, due to site access requirements
The Package
- £50,000–£70,000, with flexibility for the right person
- Extra 10% flexible benefits (EV, pension, extra holiday, family medical)
- Full private medical, zero excess
- Life assurance at 4–5x salary
- Funded training and certifications, with 1–2 study days a week encouraged
- Annual ski trip and summer events

Why It Stands Out

- Protected study time and funded certifications
- Strong vendor partnerships and international tech conferences
A growing, secure business where you can make your mark!
