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. This role is ideal for someone who comes from a technical background but wants to move away from day-to-day engineering into people and delivery management.

• As the Infrastructure Team Lead, you'll be responsible for ensuring your team delivers consistently high-quality technical services. You'll work closely with operational leaders to plan resources, motivate your team, and drive continuous improvement across infrastructure operations.
• This is a hands-on managerial role - you'll be directly involved in mentoring, performance management, and team coordination rather than doing the technical work yourself.

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
