Excellent opportunity for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer with strong SAN and VMware experience to join a growing team within a large, multi-site environment.

- Delivering infrastructure projects and supporting core systems across a predominantly on-prem environment
- Managing and supporting SAN / enterprise storage platforms, alongside VMware virtual infrastructure, Active Directory and wider server technologies
- Around 80% of the role is project-based, giving you the opportunity to be involved in real upgrades, migrations and improvement work across the business
