Overview of the Role:
A growing UK retail business is looking to add a Infrastructure Engineer to its internal technology function.
This is a genuinely hands-on position for an infrastructure professional who enjoys being close to the technology and the end users. You'll be working across a physical estate of retail locations, supporting the infrastructure that keeps stores operating while also getting involved in the technology delivery behind new locations.
Key Responsibilities:
* Taking ownership of day-to-day infrastructure issues across a multi-site retail environment.
* Supporting stores and users across networking, connectivity, devices and POS.
* Working alongside the wider infrastructure team to keep the estate stable and operational.
* Getting involved in new store openings, including working with suppliers and coordinating the technology required for new locations.
* Supporting infrastructure changes, upgrades and rollouts.
* Investigating problems, identifying root causes and putting practical fixes in place.
* Working with third-party technology providers when issues require escalation.
* Providing occasional out-of-hours support as part of a low-volume on-call arrangement.
* Helping improve the way infrastructure support is delivered as the business continues to evolve.
What We're Looking For:
* Around 2–5 years' commercial infrastructure experience.
* Experience working within retail, hospitality or another multi-site environment.
* Strong networking fundamentals, including experience with Fortinet.
* Experience supporting VMware and/or Hyper-V.
* Good understanding of Microsoft 365, Windows and desktop infrastructure.
* Exposure to POS or other store-based technology would be highly beneficial.
* Experience dealing directly with users, suppliers and third parties.
* A willingness to get involved with both BAU support and project work
