Infrastructure Engineer – Azure / M365 / VMware
Location: Wilmslow, hybrid (3 days onsite)
Contract: 12 Months contract (Inside IR35) (High chance of extension)
Day rate: £325-375 per day
Start Date: TBC
Overview
Are you an infrastructure engineer who's as comfortable in Azure as you are in a server room? This role covers both: a mostly cloud-based estate, plus an on-site datacentre that needs someone who knows their way around it.
We're working with a global business in need of an Infrastructure Engineer at their Wilmslow site to keep core infrastructure stable, look after the datacentre, own backups, and play a hands-on part in bringing an acquired business into the group. The role is three days a week on site, so you'll need to be within a reasonable commute of Wilmslow.
