IT Service Development - Windows Infra, Bristol

Programme Description Subject to contract award Leonardo is expecting an IT project, for a UK Government customer, to start at the end of September 2020. It will involve taking on some legacy office IT and datacentres, building a new IT infrastructure based on cloud technology, developing a wide range of managed services to create an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environment, supported by comprehensive ITIL-based support services. It will also involve migrating some legacy systems to the new IaaS environment. The new IaaS will then be operated by Leonardo until contract expiry or re-compete, 5 years from commencement. All the work will take place around the M3/M4 corridor between London and Bristol. How this role fits in Shortly after the commencement of the programme, a service development team will be responsible for developing the working IaaS solution with its supporting ITIL and other through-life support services, working from a detailed statement of requirement. The team will work in accordance with the Scaled Agile Framework. The team will work under a Scrum Master and will contain engineers with a range of experience and skills including security, Windows infrastructure, networks, Cloud infrastructure and ITIL centric support. This role is for the Windows Infrastructure (Wintel) specialist within the team.
