NHS | Infrastructure, Servers & Virtualisation
Want to run critical infrastructure that directly impacts patient care? This is a hands-on engineering role where your technical decisions matter.
We’re looking for a sharp, proactive Server & Storage Engineer to own and optimise a complex, high-availability environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
Own server infrastructure (Windows/Linux) across a multi-site environment
Deliver 2nd/3rd line support for complex incidents and escalation
Manage virtualisation platforms (VMware / Hyper-V)
Maintain backup, disaster recovery & business continuity strategies
Ensure system security, patching & compliance across all servers
Build and optimise file, print & storage services
Support project rollouts, migrations & infrastructure upgrades
Troubleshoot deeply – from OS to hardware to network layers
Deep understanding of:
Strong server engineering experience (Windows Server + Linux)
Solid virtualisation expertise (VMware / Hyper-V)
Storage, backup & restore processes
Patch management & system security
Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP)
Proven ability to debug complex infrastructure issues end-to-end
Experience working in high-availability / mission-critical environments
Confident delivering 3rd line support and owning incidents
Experience with enterprise server hardware (maintenance, upgrades, replacements)
Familiarity with Azure / Microsoft ecosystem
Working knowledge of ITIL practices and service management
Experience in regulated environments (e.g. healthcare or similar)
Relevant certifications (Microsoft, VMware, CompTIA or equivalent experience)
What Makes This Role Different
You’ll be a key technical authority, not just a ticket resolver
Exposure to enterprise-scale infrastructure across multiple sites
Real impact: your work supports critical services
Involvement in disaster recovery, security, and infrastructure strategy
Opportunity to shape and improve systems, not just maintain them
*Rates depend on experience and client requirements
