This is a great opportunity for an experienced infrastructure or 3rd line support professional who enjoys being hands-on with technology, troubleshooting complex issues and getting involved in infrastructure projects and improvements.
You’ll be part of a team responsible for maintaining and evolving a large-scale Microsoft infrastructure environment, supporting both on-premises and cloud technologies. You’ll act as a technical escalation point for complex issues, take ownership of major incidents and help deliver infrastructure changes and improvements.
The Role
As a Senior IT Infrastructure Analyst, you will:
- Provide hands-on 3rd line infrastructure and technical support, working closely with the Service Desk and wider IT teams.
- Act as a technical escalation point for complex infrastructure issues and troubleshoot problems through to resolution.
- Take a technical lead during P1/P2 major incidents, coordinating activity across relevant resolver teams.
- Support and maintain a hybrid Microsoft infrastructure environment, covering both cloud and on-premises technologies.
- Work extensively with Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, Active Directory and Microsoft 365.
- Manage and support the end-user computing environment using Microsoft Configuration Manager (MECM/ConfigMgr) and Intune.
- Support Windows Server and desktop environments, including patching, upgrades, certificates and platform optimisation.
- Work with virtualisation technologies including VMware and Hyper-V.
- Support infrastructure services including DNS, Always On VPN, Citrix, SQL Server, storage, backup and monitoring solutions.
- Use PowerShell and automation tooling to improve efficiency and reduce manual processes.
- Support software deployment, provisioning and policy compliance through ConfigMgr and Intune.
- Investigate recurring issues, carry out root cause analysis and implement preventative solutions.
- Contribute to infrastructure projects, technical changes and service improvements from planning through to implementation and testing.
- Maintain technical documentation and help establish infrastructure standards and best practice.
- Work closely with cybersecurity and wider IT teams to maintain a secure, resilient and reliable environment.
- Participate in a 24/7 on-call rota for business-critical services.
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.
