IT Infrastructure & Network Engineer

Sutton Coldfield - £45,000 - Full-time onsite

SF Technology is recruiting an IT Infrastructure & Network Engineer for a growing, multi-site organisation undergoing a major programme of infrastructure investment and modernisation.

This is not a 1st or 2nd line support position. You'll join a centralised IT function and take hands-on responsibility for the infrastructure supporting sites across the UK and internationally.

The role has a particularly strong focus on Palo Alto firewalls and network switching, alongside Windows Server, virtualisation, storage and backup technologies. You'll also contribute to major projects involving new-site integrations, infrastructure upgrades and the organisation's migration away from VMware.

Key responsibilities:

Administering and supporting Palo Alto firewalls
Managing switches, VLANs and wider network infrastructure
Supporting Windows Server, Active Directory and Group Policy
Managing Hyper-V and VMware environments
Administering HPE servers, storage and backup platforms
Supporting Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Azure services
Monitoring infrastructure performance, resilience and security
Resolving complex infrastructure incidents and escalations
Supporting new-site integrations, migrations and infrastructure projects
Maintaining technical documentation and infrastructure standards
Working closely with service delivery, security, ERP and development teams

What we're looking for:

Strong hands-on experience administering Palo Alto firewalls
Good knowledge of switches, VLANs, routing and network troubleshooting
Infrastructure engineering experience across servers, storage, backups and virtualisation
Strong Windows Server and Active Directory knowledge
Experience with VMware and/or Hyper-V
Experience supporting a multi-site infrastructure environment
The ability to communicate effectively with both technical teams and business users
A proactive approach and the confidence to take ownership of infrastructure issues

Experience with HPE infrastructure, Azure, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, PowerShell, Halo ITSM or manufacturing environments would be advantageous.

If you're an Infrastructure Engineer with genuine firewall and networking experience who wants greater ownership and exposure to significant infrastructure projects, apply now or contact SF Technology for a confidential conversation.
