About the Company
A well-established name in UK technology is looking for a Systems Administrator to join its team in Lincoln. This is a hands-on infrastructure role inside a business that takes its systems, security, and uptime seriously, with genuine scope to drive improvements rather than just keep the lights on.

Responsibilities
- Provide operational support across server and infrastructure environments, administering Windows Server and/or Linux systems
- Support cloud-based systems, including Microsoft 365, working alongside the Cloud Engineering team
- Support virtualisation platforms, storage, backup, and recovery operations
- Investigate and resolve infrastructure incidents and service requests, keeping tickets accurate and within SLA
- Carry out scheduled patching, upgrades, and approved changes, following change control and technical standards
- Monitor infrastructure performance, utilisation, and capacity, respond to alerts, and escalate recurring risks
- Maintain accurate technical documentation and contribute to the knowledge base
- Support infrastructure projects, migrations, and upgrades under the direction of senior engineers
- Help build and maintain automation scripts to cut down repetitive manual work
