Lead technical investigation, diagnosis and root cause analysis of incidents and problems, driving effective resolution and service improvement.
Contribute to the design and delivery of infrastructure and security projects, ensuring solutions are secure, resilient and supportable.
Develop, maintain and review technical documentation to ensure accuracy, compliance and operational effectiveness.
Support the monitoring, maintenance and lifecycle management of network and security services.
Ensure routine maintenance activities are identified, planned and completed in line with operational, security and compliance requirements.
Work collaboratively with business stakeholders to plan maintenance activities and minimise operational impact.
Develop and maintain security technology solutions in partnership with internal security, governance and technology teams.
Maintain awareness of emerging technologies, industry trends and security best practice, recommending improvements where appropriate.
Identify opportunities to improve service reliability, operational efficiency and security posture through continual service improvement initiatives.
Identify opportunities to automate operational activities through repeatable and sustainable engineering practices.
Ensure change management processes are followed and that infrastructure changes are appropriately assessed, documented and implemented.
Support the delivery of departmental objectives and wider technology initiatives.
Lead by example, demonstrating professionalism and a commitment to high-quality service delivery.
