  • Delivery of project components to high standards and best practices.
  • Creating and reviewing high and low-level design documents whilst retaining a highly flexible approach to change.
  • Working with Solution Architects and Project Managers to improve and refine approach, tooling and delivery of repeatable solutions.
  • Enforcing and evolving best practices and internal processes for documentation and delivery
  • Knowledge transfer of all aspects of technical solutions to both internal teams and clients.


Qualifications and experience required:


  • Minimum 6+ years of professional experience within the IT consulting, technology and solutions arena.
  • Minimum 5 years hands-on experience with Azure services including Azure Active Directory, Azure networking, virtual machines, backup, DR, monitoring, security, DevOps, Kubernetes, Terraform and automation
  • Experience of Azure Virtual Desktop deployment is highly advantageous
  • A passion for Azure technologies and the desire to keep learning
  • Experienced in Azure implementation and migration projects
  • Proven track record in delivering successful Azure projects on time and to budget
  • Ability to prioritise work and manage own time independently
  • Ability to technically own projects through to completion
  • High standards of technical documentation
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and ability to build relationships
  • Azure Administrator qualifications
  • Understanding of Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework


Desirable:


  • Knowledge of Azure Web Apps, Azure SQL and application development/transformation
  • Experience relevant to Public Cloud migrations, especially technologies such as Citrix, VMware, Hyper-V, IIS, SQL, Windows and Linux Operating Systems
  • Completion of Microsoft Azure exams AZ-300 / 303, AZ-301/ 304 or AZ-500.
