Lead Infrastructure & Systems Engineer

About Medinet & Healthharmonie

Medinet and its subsidiary Healthharmonie deliver a range of community healthcare services across multiple sites. Our IT team supports both organisations across all technology functions, bringing together infrastructure, systems, and end-user support under a single unified function. As the team grows and our service footprint matures, we are creating a new senior technical role to sit at the heart of the infrastructure function: a Lead Infrastructure & Systems Engineer who acts as the primary point of technical escalation for the team and leads on the ongoing development of our systems and platforms.

Role Purpose

To serve as the principal technical escalation point for the IT infrastructure team, handling the most complex incidents and requests before they reach the IT Infrastructure Manager. Alongside reactive support, this role leads the ongoing development of our Freshservice ITSM instance, drives minor infrastructure improvements, and takes on delegated technical work from the IT Infrastructure Manager — with the explicit goal of freeing senior management capacity for strategy, team development, and organisational planning. This is not a people management role, but someone with a natural inclination to share knowledge and bring others along will thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Escalation & Team Support

  • Act as the primary technical escalation point for the infrastructure team — the definitive next step before issues reach the IT Infrastructure Manager
  • Take ownership of the most complex, ambiguous, or high-impact incidents across the estate, driving them through to resolution
  • Carry out detailed root-cause analysis on recurring or systemic issues and implement lasting fixes across the environment
  • Provide authoritative technical guidance to the infrastructure team, helping colleagues develop their skills through hands-on collaboration rather than formal instruction

Platform Development & Delegated Work

  • Lead the ongoing development and continuous improvement of the Freshservice ITSM platform — building workflows, automations, forms, SLA rules, and reporting to support the team's operational needs
  • Deliver minor infrastructure updates and improvements as delegated by the IT Infrastructure Manager, including configuration changes, service upgrades, and platform enhancements
  • Own technical documentation for the infrastructure estate — ensuring network diagrams, runbooks, configuration records, and architecture notes are accurate and maintained
  • Contribute to infrastructure projects alongside the team, particularly where senior technical input is needed to de-risk delivery

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

Our Commitment

This role is designed for a technically exceptional engineer who wants to operate at the cutting edge of a growing infrastructure team — someone who finds as much satisfaction in developing a platform or solving a thorny architectural problem as in resolving a complex incident. You will have genuine autonomy, direct influence on how the team works, and a clear line of sight to the IT Infrastructure Manager. Management responsibility is not part of this role, but you will be a technical anchor for the team and your contribution will be felt across everything the infrastructure function does. We welcome applications from candidates who may not meet every desirable criterion but can demonstrate exceptional technical depth and a genuine drive to develop both themselves and those around them.

Why Join Us?

By joining Medinet Group, you'll become part of the infrastructure that enables outstanding patient care across the UK. Your work will directly support clinicians and operational teams in delivering safe, efficient and effective healthcare services.

In return, we offer:

  • The opportunity to support critical healthcare systems.
  • A collaborative and supportive IT team environment.
  • Exposure to a wide range of clinical technologies and digital health platforms.
  • Ongoing learning and development opportunities.
  • A growing organisation focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
  • The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both colleagues and patients.

Equal Opportunities

Medinet Group is proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Applications are welcomed from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age or any other protected characteristic.
