Infrastructure Engineer

Glasgow | £35,000 - £40,000 | Permanent

Published: 14.05.25 Ref: BBBH51536_1747218134

We're working with a large scale organisation in Glasgow currently going through an ambitious digital transformation - modernising their infrastructure estate and moving from a heavily onprem setup to a more scalable, cloud first model. As part of this evolution, they're hiring a 3rd Line Infrastructure & Network Engineer with strong Microsoft experience to support and lead key projects across Azure, Intune, and endpoint security.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands on technical environment and enjoys balancing BAU escalations with impactful project delivery. You'll play a key role as part of a small internal IT team, working closely with first line support, key stakeholders across the business, and external vendors to help deliver a wide range of infrastructure improvements.

From migrating to Azure AD and Intune, to rolling out Defender across the business and helping push toward Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 compliance - there's a lot going on, and you'll be in the thick of it. Alongside cloud migration work, you'll also be involved in troubleshooting server side issues, maintaining core infrastructure services, and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Responsibilities:

You'll support and lead 3rd line infrastructure activities across onprem and cloud services, resolving escalated issues while contributing to a variety of internal projects. You'll work within an ITIL aligned environment, helping improve system performance, network reliability, and cyber security posture. Collaborating across support functions and with senior leadership, you'll take ownership of your technical space - from endpoint security to server virtualisation and cloud platform improvements.

It'd be great if you have…

  • Strong Microsoft ecosystem knowledge; Azure AD, Intune, Entra, O365, Endpoint Manager
  • Experience supporting server platforms (Windows Server, Exchange, SharePoint)
  • Virtualisation (VMware, Hyper V, or Proxmox) and scripting (PowerShell)
  • Solid networking knowledge - DNS, DHCP, routing, firewalls, web filtering
  • Exposure to cloud migrations, ideally Azure (some AWS experience also fine)
  • Experience supporting enterprise platforms like IIS & SQL
  • Familiarity with compliance standards (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, NIST)
  • Excellent problem solving and communication skills

There's no on call requirement, though some flexibility around out of hours work may occasionally be needed. This is a genuinely varied and collaborative environment - one where you can roll up your sleeves and get involved in modernising systems that underpin the wider business.

In return, they're able to offer a salary of around £40,000 depending on experience, with a bonus, pension, 28 days' holiday plus public, and hybrid working. The business has offices across the globe, but this role is based in Glasgow (typically three days in the office each week - a little more at the beginning during onboarding).

If you're a technically capable infrastructure engineer ready to take on cloud first transformation projects, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now or get in touch with Lewis at Cathcart Technology for more information.

Candidates

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.
