Infrastructure Engineer Cloud and Server

This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in shaping and delivering digital transformation across NHS West Yorkshire ICB and 88 GP practices. Working within the Leeds GP & Corporate IT team, you will help drive the transition from traditional on-premises technologies to modern cloud-based services that support both corporate functions and frontline primary care.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys leading change, delivering complex technology programmes and helping organisations embrace new ways of working. You will work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, including clinical teams, practice managers, senior leaders, suppliers and partner organisations, helping them maximise the benefits of Microsoft 365, Azure technologies and nationally provided NHS digital services.

Current priorities include delivering large-scale transformation programmes such as the migration of GP practice infrastructure, file services and business systems from on-premises environments to Microsoft cloud platforms, supporting the migration of identity and access management to Azure, expanding Microsoft Intune device management across primary care and corporate services, and helping organisations fully adopt the capabilities of the NHS shared tenant and Microsoft 365 ecosystem. This includes SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive, Entra ID, cloud security technologies and modern collaboration tools.

The role will also support the development of cloud-first operating models, helping staff work more effectively through modern, secure and agile digital services. We are at the beginning of an ambitious programme to automate business processes through our dedicated Microsoft Power Platform environment, creating opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve efficiency and deliver smarter ways of working across the organisation. The postholder will contribute to a growing portfolio of digital transformation projects designed to modernise technology platforms, improve staff experience and support better outcomes for patients.

Working alongside the IT Operations Manager and with support from the IT Technical Manager, you will help shape technical roadmaps, coordinate migration activities, support cloud adoption, develop implementation plans and ensure solutions are delivered in line with organisational and national standards. As the role develops, there will be opportunities to build deeper technical expertise in Microsoft cloud technologies, identity management, endpoint management, automation, security and modern workplace solutions.

We are looking for a motivated and forward-thinking individual with strong organisational, communication and stakeholder management skills, who can confidently engage with both technical and non-technical audiences. Whether your background is in infrastructure, cloud technologies, project delivery or digital transformation, you will have a passion for improving services through technology and helping organisations embrace new ways of working.

In return, you will join a supportive team delivering one of the largest digital modernisation programmes in primary care, with the opportunity to influence how cloud technologies, digital services and modern workplace solutions evolve across health and care organisations throughout West Yorkshire.
