Database Infrastructure Administrator – Keep it secure. Keep it resilient. Keep it running. £50,000 - £70,000 | Preston (Hybrid) This isn't a role for someone who wants to spend their day writing SQL queries. It's for someone who enjoys being the person that keeps critical systems healthy, secure, and available. The person who spots issues before they become outages. The person who makes sure backups work when they're needed. The person who understands that reliability isn't exciting until the moment it matters. If you've built your career around SQL Server, Azure SQL, platform operations, infrastructure, or managed services environments, this could be exactly the kind of challenge you're looking for. What's in it for you? • Salary: £50,000 - £70,000, • Hybrid working – you’ll need to be based in commuting distance to be in the office 2-3 times/week, • Join a growing Managed Services team supporting enterprise-scale customers, • Work across modern Azure-hosted database environments, • Take ownership of critical production platforms, • Opportunity to influence standards, resilience, security, and operational excellence What's the role really about? Think of yourself as the guardian of the platform. You'll be responsible for ensuring database environments remain stable, secure, recoverable, and available. You'll monitor performance. Manage maintenance activities. Review backups and recovery processes. Support incidents. Implement changes. Improve resilience. And make sure the environments under your care continue to perform as the business grows. This is much more operational than developmental. Less database design. More ownership of the platform itself. What you'll be doing • Managing and maintaining Azure SQL and SQL Server environments, • Monitoring database health, performance, capacity, and availability, • Managing backup, recovery, and disaster recovery processes, • Supporting incidents and troubleshooting platform issues, • Performing maintenance, patching, upgrades, and change activities, • Working within ITIL-led service management processes, • Improving documentation, standards, and operational procedures, • Supporting security, compliance, and platform resilience initiatives, • Working closely with wider infrastructure, cloud, and managed services teams What you'll bring • Strong experience administering SQL Server and/or Azure SQL environments, • Experience supporting production database platforms in live operational environments, • Knowledge of backup, recovery, high availability, and disaster recovery principles, • Understanding of performance monitoring and capacity management, • Experience working within managed services, support, or service-led environments, • Familiarity with ITIL processes and change management, • A methodical troubleshooting approach and strong sense of ownership This role would suit someone from a background such as: • SQL Server DBA, • Azure SQL Administrator, • Database Infrastructure Engineer, • Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with SQL responsibility, • Platform Engineer, • Managed Services Engineer supporting database environments Why this role? Some organisations need people to build databases. This organisation needs someone to protect them. If you enjoy ownership, problem solving, resilience, and being trusted with business-critical systems, this is a role where your contribution will genuinely matter. Interested?
