The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Level 2/3 IT Support Engineer to join our team delivering and maintaining critical test and reference environments in support of deployed Live IT systems. This is not your average desktop support gig-think enterprise-level environments across VMware, Windows, Linux, and Cisco, keeping the backbone of Defence IT running smoothly.
What you'll be doing:
Building, configuring, and maintaining virtual machines, networks, and applications.
Installing updates, patches, and operating systems (Windows/Linux), plus security software.
Monitoring complex environments and troubleshooting across hardware, networks, and applications.
Diagnosing issues, carrying out root-cause analysis, and implementing fixes.
Managing backups, inventories, and hardware installs (yes, sometimes lifting heavy kit).
Maintaining connectivity, documenting changes, and ensuring smooth operations.
Must-haves:
Solid experience with Microsoft Active Directory, Group Policy, and DNS.
Strong Microsoft Server skills (2012R2, 2019, Windows 10).
Hands-on experience with VMware vCenter and virtualised environments.
Good hardware knowledge and willingness to lift/fit equipment.
If you'd like to discuss this Platform Engineer in more detail, please send your updated CV to and I will get in touch.
