This is a varied and challenging role within our IT team to work with our IT Director to manage and maintain the infrastructure described below. It is an opportunity to focus on Cloud infrastructure and become a subject matter expert within the company. The Junior Infrastructure Engineer role will acquire knowledge of system and application software, networking and hardware and so will suit someone with a broad enthusiasm within IT, possibly someone who is looking for a step up in their IT infrastructure career. You will need to communicate both with Sinara’s own users and occasionally with external clients. Such contact will in general be with technically literate users. Extensive training will be provided as required.
