• Play a key role in critical uplift projects, including VMware optimisation and transition initiatives (e.g. hypervisor evolution, backup modernisation), helping shape the future state of infrastructure platforms. 

• Work closely with Cyber teams to implement monthly patching, vulnerability remediation, and reporting, while actively contributing to incident response and on-call support to protect critical infrastructure. 

• Provide deep technical support across core technologies including VMware, Citrix, Active Directory, Exchange and backup platforms—troubleshooting complex issues and ensuring seamless service continuity.

• Solid experience across Windows Server, Active Directory, Exchange (on-prem and M365), and Citrix, with the ability to manage identity and core services in a hybrid environment. 

• Experience working alongside Cyber teams on patching, vulnerability remediation, and compliance, with the ability to operate within structured governance and reporting frameworks. 

• Able to partner effectively with infrastructure, cloud, cyber teams and vendors, contributing to structured change and delivery outcomes.
