Job Specifications

Lead Cloud Engineer | Cloud Migration, IaC, Network Security | Greenfield IT function being established

Remote first with the expectation to go to the Chester Office once a month (expenses paid)
£65,000-70,000

Our client provides a combination of services (mainly software & applications) to customers in the legal, health & safety, employment law, ISO regulation and cyber security fields.

They currently have a Core IT Team of 5 which will grow this year to a team of 13 so there is already a foundation team in place that you will be working with. There is a general standardisation strategy where the company's CRM, ERP and core IT systems are all being unified.

In addition to this, the firm’s strategy is to grow via acquisitions so there will be no shortage of IT projects and programmes associated with the newly purchased firms’ IT infrastructure that will need to be migrated into ‘the mother ship’. So much going on here, and an exciting time to join!

In this role you will architect, manage and optimise our clients multi-cloud infrastructure. As a key technical leader, you will drive cloud migrations, infrastructure consolidation, and best practices, ensuring scalability, security, and operational efficiency. Your expertise will be critical in navigating complex challenges and delivering a cost-effective cloud strategy.

Key skills:
Proven experience managing cloud infrastructure (Azure)
Expertise in hybrid cloud strategies and on-prem to cloud migrations
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – hands-on experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, and cloud automation
Strong knowledge of firewalls, cloud security controls, and networking concepts
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native application development
Knowledge of cost management, optimisation strategies, and cloud governance
Ability to mentor and guide technical team members, working closely with DevOps, security and development teams
For success in this role, you must have a can-do attitude and be happy to get stuck in with the team. As this is a comparatively small team where skills and resources are pooled you will be expected to ‘muck in’ on occasions with tasks and duties perhaps more junior than you would normally expect. It’s all about having the right attitude to help your peers when they need it and bringing a positive approach.

Benefits:
25 Days holiday + Birthday off
Health Cash plan
Life Assurance
Gym allowance
Pension Scheme
2 days per year of paid volunteering
Will writing service
Wellbeing services

Please get in touch ASAP as our client is keen to hire fast with a rapid 2-stage interview process!
