Senior Infrastructure Consultant

About us:

In today's digital era, leveraging IT empowers organisations of all sizes to innovate, evolve, and provide seamless, connected services to their stakeholders - whether they are employees, service users, customers, patients, tenants, or students.

At Phoenix, we specialise in providing IT solutions and managed services to meet the unique objectives of each organisation that we work with. Our approach focuses on modernising workplaces through the utilisation of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud and hybrid infrastructure, AI, cyber security, collaboration, and productivity solutions.

So what does that mean?

Technology is complicated, and it changes fast. For our customers, that combination can be a real headache.

Our customers are busy doing really important things like saving lives, protecting people, building new products, and creating new services. To be really good at what they do, they need simple, honest, and expert advice on how technology helps them do it.

That's what we do - we make the complicated simple.
