Modern Workplace Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role

Do you want to be part of building a smarter, more reliable, and secure workplace within a rapidly growing environment?

We’re seeking a Modern Workplace Infrastructure Engineer to play a central role in shaping and supporting our modern IT environment.

This is a hands-on technical role. You’ll engage in configuring Intune, managing policies, deploying packages, maintaining cloud services—but also helping us continuously improve how workplace technology operates.

You’ll take ownership of platforms like Microsoft 365, Intune, Defender, and Azure, ensuring they’re secure, optimised, and delivering real value. Additionally, you’ll lead technical initiatives around automation, AI adoption, and M&A integration work.

You’ll collaborate closely with infrastructure peers, service desk, and wider IT teams, contributing to a collaborative environment where ideas are valued and improvements are encouraged.

If you enjoy ownership, building things properly, and making a tangible impact, this role is perfect for you.


Key Responsibilities

∙ Modern Workplace & Cloud Management

  • Deploying, configuring, and optimising Microsoft 365, Intune, Defender, and Azure services
  • Owning device management, including policy configuration and application deployment via Intune
  • Continuously improving performance, security, and user experience across workplace technologies

∙ Virtualisation & Cloud Infrastructure

  • Implementing and supporting Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 environments
  • Monitoring and maintaining cloud infrastructure to ensure reliability and scalability

∙ Network & Infrastructure

  • Designing, configuring, and troubleshooting network environments
  • Managing and optimising firewall and switching technologies
  • Ensuring infrastructure is secure, efficient, and well-performing

∙ System Administration

  • Managing operating systems, including Windows 11, Windows Server, iOS, and macOS
  • Maintaining device compliance, patching, and configuration standards
  • Handling escalations from the support team

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.
