You will be working closely with colleagues in ISS but also with IT support colleagues across the departments of FST to provide an excellent support service for the use of Linux within teaching and research. You will use your skills to pull together Linux experience across ISS and FST along with your own experience, to develop and deliver Linux support for academic, research and support staff within FST. Working with researchers and research teams, you will understand their IT needs and deliver a great IT service. Your work will set support standards for Linux across the wider university.

- Excellent Linux deployment and administration skills
- Excellent analytical, technical and communications skills.
- Ability to combine technical and problem-solving skills with a strong user-focus to ensure excellent service and support.
- Ability to juggle priorities and balance long-term and short-term demands.
- A degree, professional qualification or career experience in a relative field

One or more of the following would be advantageous:

- Experience of integrating Linux with Microsoft Active Directory
- Experience of Ansible/AWX for configuring and managing systems
- Experience of grid/cluster management

As well as a competitive salary, there is a flexible benefits package available to staff enabling you to tailor your benefits to suit your own needs. This includes options such as travel, childcare, wellbeing and shopping, and includes the purchase of additional annual leave. As a team, we are committed to the development of our people and foster a learning environment where you will be encouraged to learn new skills and technologies.

While the role will be predominantly based on the Bailrigg campus, we actively encourage a positive work/life balance and enable flexible working from home, or elsewhere, whenever appropriate and possible.
