• Harden systems, apply security patches, and reduce attack surface proactively.
• Monitor for, investigate, and respond to security incidents and suspicious activity.

• Manage physical servers, storage, RAID, BIOS/firmware, and operating systems (primarily Linux).
• Design, configure, and maintain reliable, secure internal and external networks.
• Manage switches, routers, firewalls, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, and VPNs.
• Monitor network performance, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and optimise for throughput and latency.
• Implement and maintain basic IT security policies, controls, and documentation.

Key Skills/Experience: 

• Proven experience managing IT infrastructure, systems, and security in a technical organisation.
• Strong, hands-on experience with bare-metal servers and Linux system administration.
• Very strong networking knowledge: switching, routing, firewalls, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, VPNs.
• Solid grasp of access control, identity management, and least-privilege security.
• Experience with endpoint/device management and securing an employee fleet.
• Comfortable scripting and automating tasks (Bash, Python, or similar).
• Practical understanding of IT security fundamentals and system hardening.
• Experience implementing access reviews, backups, and incident response.
• Familiarity with basic compliance and audit requirements (access control, asset tracking, data handling).
• Strong troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and incident-handling skills.
• Well-organised approach to inventory, documentation, and asset lifecycle.
• Ability to operate independently and own outcomes end-to-end.

Nice to Have:
