THE PERSON

We are currently beginning our journey into a native AWS cloud environment. Whilst cloud experience is beneficial, we are training and upskilling our existing staff. This job is perfect if you want to gain cloud skills and work operationally.
The ideal candidate will have experience working independently and as part of projects. You must be able to communicate effectively with service owners from all parts of the university, therefore, good communication skills are essential.
Whilst the job description lists various skills, knowledge of Windows or Linux and Cloud will be key to the job. Understanding data centres, hardware, automation, and VMWare is advantageous.
