Systems Administrator

We have an exciting new full-time opportunity for a Systems Administrator to join the department of Computer Science. Reporting to the Deputy IT Manager for Infrastructure, this role is pivotal to the smooth running of the IT operations.

You will have a degree in Computer Science and/or relevant experience, a good understanding of TCP/IP networks, proven expertise in enterprise Windows systems administration (both on the client and endpoint sides) and demonstrable troubleshooting skills. You will also be familiar with the operation of Windows services on top of a virtual infrastructure and cloud IaaS, and with enterprise-grade storage and backup systems operation (ideally in a large-network environment), as well as a proven record of getting involved in delivery of projects and initiatives, and excellent communications and organisational skills.

You will be required to upload a supporting statement, setting out how you meet the selection criteria.
