Are you an experienced technical professional ready to take the next step into leadership?
We're looking for an Infrastructure Team Lead to manage and support a talented team of over 15 technical engineers working both remotely and on client sites.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading, motivating, and developing a team of Infrastructure Engineers to meet delivery and performance goals
Conducting regular one-to-one meetings and managing performance effectively
Overseeing staff resourcing and planning in line with project demand
Supporting training and professional development for all team members

What We're Looking For

Essential:

Strong leadership and people management skills
Experience managing or mentoring technical teams
Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
Resilience and a service-focused mindset
A passion for driving efficiency, innovation, and continuous improvement

Desirable:

Prior experience in team leadership or resource management
Flexible and adaptable approach to changing priorities
