I'm supporting a growing National Security SME in Cheltenham looking for Infrastructure and Systems Engineers who enjoy getting hands-on with complex environments, solving problems and improving how technology is delivered.
Infrastructure Engineer (eDV) – Cheltenham
Location: Cheltenham / Gloucester
Working pattern: Secure-site working, with flexibility depending on programme
Level: Mid-to-Senior
Clearance: Active eDV / green badge required
Salary: Dependent on experience + package
Not every engineering challenge in National Security starts with AWS and Kubernetes.
Some of the most valuable engineers working high-side are those who really understand the infrastructure underneath it all.
I'm supporting a growing National Security SME in Cheltenham looking for Infrastructure and Systems Engineers who enjoy getting hands-on with complex environments, solving problems and improving how technology is delivered.
This isn't simply a BAU support role. There's scope to get involved in infrastructure design, deployment, automation and the evolution of secure platforms.
The technical focus
-
Linux & Windows: Enterprise server administration, configuration and troubleshooting
-
Virtualisation: VMware, ESXi, vCenter and associated infrastructure
-
Networking: TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls and secure connectivity
-
Infrastructure: Storage, resilience, backup, disaster recovery and high availability
-
Automation: Ansible, Terraform, scripting and Infrastructure as Code
-
Modern platforms: Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes or hybrid cloud environments
You don't need to be an expert in every area.
Strong infrastructure fundamentals, an appreciation of secure environments and an interest in developing your automation skills are more important than having every tool on your CV.
Why it's worth a look
The attraction here is joining a smaller, specialist engineering team where you can have a genuine impact.
Rather than being confined to a narrow support function, there's an opportunity to broaden your technical exposure, contribute to infrastructure decisions and develop towards more advanced Platform, Automation or Technical Lead responsibilities.
You'll be supporting demanding National Security environments where reliability, security and good engineering practice genuinely matter.
Active eDV clearance is required, and you'll need to be comfortable working on-site in secure environments around Cheltenham.
If you're an Infrastructure or Systems Engineer who wants to stay hands-on while taking on broader engineering responsibilities, I'd be happy to talk you through the opportunity.
