Analyst - Morgan McKinley

Tech Trailblazer Wanted: IT Operations Analyst - Watford Fancy being a key player in a massive operation that builds and maintains the infrastructure of, well, a good chunk of the UK? We're talking one of the giants in Civil Engineering, Construction, and Facilities Maintenance, and they need a top-tier IT Operations Analyst to keep their digital heart beating strong. Forget just keeping the lights on. This is about diving into the latest tech - cloud services, automation, the whole shebang - and making a real impact across 300 locations. If you're the kind of person who gets a kick out of solving complex problems, loves being part of a team, and wants to see your work actually make a difference, then read on. Here's what you'll be doing: Keeping on-premises and cloud environments purring like a kitten (a very powerful, high-availability kitten). Collaborating with the app support crew to squash bugs and keep things running smoothly. Being the guardian of the network, servers, and systems, ensuring 6500 users stay connected and secure. Future-proofing the infrastructure - lifecycle management, continuous improvement, the whole nine yards. Orchestrating changes, testing new stuff, and deploying it all without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe a little sweat, but good sweat). Working with all sorts of people, internal and external, to deliver a stellar service. Being a security ninja, protecting the digital kingdom. Basically, being an IT superhero. What you need to bring to the table: You're a Microsoft Cloud whiz. You speak fluent Azure (Site Recovery, M365, Exchange Online, OneDrive, Teams - you know the lingo). You're a networking guru (private endpoints, firewalls, VPNs - all second nature). Windows, Linux, servers - you've got them tamed. The Microsoft infrastructure stack? Your playground (Active Directory, Hyper-V, failover clustering - easy peasy). PowerShell and automation are your secret weapons. You're all over monitoring, alerting, and log analytics (Sentinel, Logic Apps, API Management gateways, Azure Application Proxies). You know your way around LAN and WAN infrastructure like the back of your hand (switching, routing, firewalls, MPLS, SD-WAN - the whole shebang). The Perks: Training and development to keep your skills razor-sharp. A solid holiday allowance (26 days bank holidays). A generous pension. Life assurance. And the chance to be part of a company that's serious about sustainability and putting people first.
