What to expect day to day

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Infrastructure Engineer who wishes to join a dynamic IT team. This role requires a senior level system administrator to provide administrative support focusing on the design, specification, integration and implementation on a large-scale end user computing architecture focusing mainly on a Microsoft based platform as part of a complex distributed network.

The ideal candidate will be primarily responsible for our Microsoft Windows based systems, Office 365, SharePoint, E-mail, Teams, AD and applications, and their integration with the rest of our infrastructure.
