Are you the kind of infrastructure person who still wants to be close to the technology, but also wants to lead a small team properly?
We’re hiring an Infrastructure Manager for a company in Exeter, supporting over 10,000 users and a growing multi-site environment.
This isn’t a “sit in meetings all day and manage from a distance” role.
You’ll be:
- Managing a small infrastructure team whilst remaining hands-on
- Owning day-to-day infrastructure operations
- Acting as a technical escalation point
- Helping shape the future infrastructure strategy
- Supporting a major merger and wider transformation
- Working across servers, networking, firewalls, cloud, backups, telephony and endpoint management
The environment is mainly Microsoft, with a lot of on-prem infrastructure, but also increasing use of Azure, M365, Intune and cloud services.
What they care about:
They want someone who can lead people, but still understands the tech.
You don’t need to be an expert in every area, but you do need to be comfortable across:
- Microsoft 365 administration
- Active Directory / identity
- Windows Server
- Networking (LANs, WANs, VLANs and switching)
- Firewalls
- Endpoint deployment and management
- Backups, disaster recovery and cyber security basics
Bonus points for experience with things like Fortinet, HP Aruba, Ubiquiti / UniFi, Intune, SCCM, Cyber Essentials, supplier management or education.
But the main thing is this:
Can you manage a small team, keep things moving, explain technical issues clearly, and help the company make sensible infrastructure decisions?
Why this is worth a look:
- It’s a big environment, but not a corporate treadmill.
- You’ll have real influence over infrastructure direction
- You’ll inherit a team structure with room to develop people
- There’s a major merger happening, so plenty of meaningful work
- You’ll have strong work-life balance compared with commercial environments
- There’s a good pension, strong holiday allowance, Christmas shutdown and paid out-of-hours cover
This is mostly on-site in Exeter, with flexibility where it makes sense, but it is not a remote role.
