The Opportunity

We're seeking an experienced Azure Cloud Engineer to join a growing cloud team handling a broad mix of cloud infrastructure, migration, and application dependency work. This contract role suits a well-rounded engineer who's comfortable across Azure services — compute, storage, security, identity, and networking — and who can operate across both greenfield project delivery and steady-state BAU support. You'll be part of a team of ~8 cloud engineers following shared standards and naming conventions.

What You'll Be Doing

•     Supporting and delivering Azure infrastructure across compute, storage, networking, and security

•     Assisting with application migration projects, including dependency mapping and assessment

•     Building and maintaining Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for repeatable deployments

•     Implementing and managing Azure Landing Zones and cloud foundations

•     Supporting CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines

•     Administering Microsoft 365 services including SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Teams, Intune and OneDrive

•     Collaborating with architects, security, and dev teams on cloud solution delivery

•     Monitoring and optimising Azure environments using Azure Monitor and Log Analytics

•     Supporting BAU activities including on-prem Active Directory and hybrid infrastructure

•     Contributing to documentation, standards, and team knowledge-sharing

What We're Looking For

•     Solid hands-on Azure experience across a broad range of services — not just theoretical knowledge

•     Experience with application migration or dependency mapping in Azure environments

•     Proficiency with Terraform or other IaC tooling (Bicep, ARM)

•     Good working knowledge of Azure networking fundamentals (VNets, NSGs, private endpoints)

•     Familiarity with RBAC and identity/access management in Azure

•     Experience with hybrid environments (Azure AD + on-prem AD)

•     Relevant Azure certification (AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-305 or equivalent)

•     Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have

•     Experience with Azure DevOps pipelines and CI/CD automation

•     Exposure to Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace administration

•     Familiarity with cost management and FinOps practices in Azure

•     Prior experience in enterprise-scale or multi-site environments

The Detail

•     Contract engagement, initial term with likely extension

•     3 days on-site, 2 days remote per week

•     Working with Children Check (or eligibility) required prior to start

•     National Criminal History Check required
