Description
2nd Line IT Engineer – Infrastructure / Servers
We’re working with an established organisation that is looking to add a 2nd Line IT Engineer to its technical team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who has progressed beyond traditional desktop support and wants to develop their career further into infrastructure, servers and virtualisation.
The role will be heavily focused on maintaining and supporting the organisation’s on-premises infrastructure, with a predominantly physical server environment and a hybrid IT estate.
The Role
As a 2nd Line IT Engineer, you’ll provide technical support across the business while taking ownership of a range of infrastructure and server-related responsibilities. You’ll be working in an environment that has historically relied on VMware, with the organisation currently undertaking a transition from VMware to Proxmox. As a result, any existing Proxmox experience would be highly advantageous, although strong VMware and general infrastructure experience will be considered.
Your responsibilities will include:
Providing 2nd Line technical support across hardware, software and infrastructure.
Maintaining and supporting on-premises servers and infrastructure.
Monitoring and maintaining physical and virtual server environments.
Supporting VMware environments and assisting with the transition to Proxmox.
Troubleshooting server, network and infrastructure issues.
Supporting Windows Server environments, Active Directory and core Microsoft technologies.
Managing hardware, server builds, upgrades and maintenance.
Working with networking technologies including switches, firewalls, DHCP and DNS.
Supporting backup, recovery and disaster recovery processes.
Working alongside the wider IT team on infrastructure projects and improvements.
Escalating complex issues where appropriate while taking ownership of problems through to resolution.
Maintaining accurate technical documentation and infrastructure records.About You
We’re looking for a technically capable 2nd Line Engineer / Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys getting hands-on with servers and infrastructure.
You’ll ideally have experience working in an on-premises IT environment, rather than being purely focused on end-user support. xjnqpsq

Virtualisation technologiesProxmox experience would be an excellent advantage, particularly if you've had exposure to migrating or managing virtual machines within Proxmox.
However, if you're an experienced VMware engineer who is interested in developing your Proxmox skills, we'd still like to hear from you
