We’re supporting a major enterprise technology services provider on a critical infrastructure resilience programme for one of the UK’s most complex and recognisable enterprise environments.
This is an opportunity for a hands-on Infrastructure Automation Engineer to join a fast-paced programme focused on improving large-scale recovery capability through automation, orchestration, and platform integration.
If you come from an enterprise infrastructure background but have moved heavily into scripting, automation, and systems integration, this could be a strong fit.

This programme is focused on modernising recovery capability across a large enterprise infrastructure estate.
Rather than relying on manual recovery processes or static documentation, the focus is on building automation-led recovery workflows using live infrastructure data, API integrations, and orchestration tooling.
You’ll be working across a broad technology landscape, helping to integrate infrastructure platforms, automate operational processes, and improve resilience across a business-critical environment.
This is very much a delivery-focused engineering role rather than traditional infrastructure support.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building infrastructure automation workflows
• Developing scripting solutions using Python and/or PowerShell
• Consuming infrastructure and operational data via APIs
• Transforming and integrating data between enterprise platforms
• Supporting recovery orchestration and resilience automation
• Working across complex multi-vendor infrastructure environments
• Collaborating with engineering teams and technology partners
• Troubleshooting automation and integration challenges

What We’re Looking For Strong experience in:

• Enterprise infrastructure engineering
• Python and/or PowerShell scripting
• REST API integration
• Infrastructure automation / orchestration
• Complex enterprise technology environments
• Troubleshooting and systems integration

Experience with technologies such as:

• VMware
• Microsoft infrastructure
• Cisco
• HPE
• Ansible
• Terraform
• Enterprise orchestration tooling

Nice to Have Experience in:

• Operational resilience
• Disaster recovery
• Recovery automation
• Platform engineering
• Enterprise infrastructure transformation
