Dev Ops Engineer
Are you passionate about infrastructure, containers, and modern platform technologies? This could be your opportunity to build a rewarding career as an Infrastructure Engineer, while playing a vital role in keeping SOCOTEC UK's technology estate running and evolving.
As our business continues to grow and expand across the UK, our IT Operations team is growing with it. We have an exciting opportunity for a driven and technically curious DevOps Engineer to join our team and wear the SOCOTEC badge with pride. You will work across a broad and modern technology stack — from Linux and Microsoft through to Kubernetes, Rancher, and our observability platform — giving you genuine exposure and development opportunities that are hard to find in a single role.
We are looking for a motivated, hands-on engineer who is ready to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in. You will contribute to the day-to-day running of our infrastructure, support our containerised workloads, and help maintain the monitoring and alerting tools that keep our services healthy. Whether you come with experience across the full stack or strong foundations you are eager to build on, you will be supported by an experienced team who are invested in your growth.
You will embody our core behaviours of integrity, curiosity, warmth, and ambition. As part of the IT Operations team, it is key that you can work independently and take ownership of tasks, whilst also collaborating effectively as part of a close-knit team. If you are ready to take the next step in your infrastructure career with a well-established, UK-wide organisation, we would love to hear from you.
