Job Description

Patch, monitor, back up and harden systems at a data centre in Worcester. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Worcester-based, with most of your time spent at a data centre. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Troubleshoot load-shedding related outages and UPS failures
  • Run and test backups, and do regular restore drills
  • Configure switches, VLANs, VPNs and firewall rules
  • Document network diagrams and change records
  • Review security logs and investigate suspicious sign-ins

What you need

  • Clear change management and documentation habits
  • Willing to do standby and after-hours maintenance
  • Degree or diploma in IT, plus relevant certifications
  • Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python
  • At least 3 years in systems, network or cloud administration

Nice if you have

  • ISO 27001 audit experience
  • Experience with SIEM tools such as Microsoft Sentinel or Wazuh
  • Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Ansible

What's in it for you

  • Standby allowance and overtime for maintenance windows
  • Funded certification path
  • Company laptop, phone and home internet allowance

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): IT degree or diploma, certification transcript from Microsoft, Cisco or AWS plus short summary of one infrastructure project you led.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Mention the environment size, such as "120 VMs, 14 sites, 900 users", as it tells recruiters your level.
  • Include your certification verification links, since many employers check them before the interview.
