Are you a hands-on Infrastructure Engineer who enjoys taking complex technical solutions from build through to successful site deployment?
Sopra Steria is delivering a major greenfield programme for the Defence sector, building and integrating infrastructure and applications within highly secure environments. This is a rare opportunity to support the rollout of nationally significant IT systems across multiple UK sites, where the work you do directly contributes to outcomes that matter.
You will join a team of technical specialists responsible for deploying IT systems, infrastructure components, and end-user devices across secure Defence environments. Working closely with the Project Manager and Team Lead, you will play a key role in site deployments, technical implementation, integration, testing, and ongoing support.
This is a hands‑on role involving extensive UK travel in line with the project delivery plan, including regular overnight stays where required. The role is based from Hertfordshire.
What you will be doing:
- Deploy, configure, and validate hardware and software across server, network, storage, and desktop environments.
- Carry out site‑based implementation activities, including installation, integration, testing, and performance checks.
- Provide second‑ and third‑line support, including fault identification, triage, resolution, and escalation in line with SLAs.
- Administer, maintain, and improve secure IT environments to support performance, availability, and operational readiness.
- Deliver technical tasks in line with project plans, site schedules, governance standards, and delivery procedures.
- Produce clear deployment records, test evidence, end‑user guidance, and operational documentation.
What you will bring:
- Strong infrastructure engineering experience across hardware deployment, endpoint installation, core services, and technical support.
- Experience deploying or supporting infrastructure across server, network, storage, and desktop environments.
- Proven fault‑finding, diagnosis, and resolution skills across complex IT environments.
- Ability to work independently across UK sites while supporting successful delivery of small to medium‑sized IT projects.
- Experience working to tight SLAs, project timelines, and high customer service standards.
- Understanding of secure installation standards and UK Government compliance requirements, such as JSPs, SCIDA/CIDA, or TEMPEST.
It would be great if you had:
- Experience supporting site deployments, rollouts, hardware refreshes, or infrastructure transformation programmes.
- Exposure to Wintel, VMware, networking, storage, backup, monitoring, or endpoint management technologies.
