We offer managed hosting solutions for any size or type of business, from a single server to complex managed hosting environments.

The Deployment Engineer Role:

Due to continued growth, we are looking to extend the Glasgow deployments team by recruiting an additional full time engineer into the team. This is a permanent role rather than a contract.

Note that, although based in Glasgow, there will be a small amount of travel required from time to time.

+ You will need the ability to work both in a team and on an individual basis.
+ Self-organisation - you will be assigned to multiple projects simultaneously and are required to manage related information and customer expectations as you switch between tasks.
+ Positive attitude with a continuous learning and improvement mindset.
