IT Systems Administrator

Open ended contract - permanent

Full time - 35 hours per week

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join the core infrastructure team of one of the world’s leading research universities as a Systems Administrator.  

Within this role you will use enterprise technologies in a challenging and changing technical environment, and work in a team responsible for the provision of mission critical IT platforms on which most core University services rely. If buzzwords like VMware, Linux, DMARC, LDAP, Azure, AWS, Puppet and Git chime with you, we want to hear from you. If some of these are a mystery right now, we can support you through workplace training and development.

This is an open-ended position and we would ideally like someone to work 35hrs per week (Monday-Friday), with occasional out of hours work. However, we are committed to offering flexibility where possible and are happy to consider working patterns such as compressed hours or staggered start/finish times. You will be able to work flexibly between home, our data centres and from our office with views of Edinburgh Castle.

What the job involves:

• Collaborating with other team members on maintaining services such as email infrastructure, directory services and authentication services.
• Providing day to day assistance with the triaging and resolution of support calls and service requests as part of a third-line support team.
• Working in close partnership with the Data Centre Manager to ensure the University’s data centres maintain a high-level of service availability.
• Contributing to projects that will develop and improve the IT services of the University.
