Flexible Working Pattern, Hybrid (2-3 days in the office)
Employment Type: Permanent
Overview
We’re looking for a skilled OT Wintel Engineer to help shape the future of operational technology within a dynamic and forward‑thinking energy environment. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the operation, maintenance, and lifecycle management of Microsoft and virtualised platforms, ensuring secure, reliable, and cost‑effective services that support both end‑user computing and enterprise applications.
Responsibilities
Working within the framework of Iberdrola Global Group standards, you’ll use a suite of operational support tools to deliver services across both OT and IT domains. Where standards don’t yet exist, you’ll collaborate with the OT Services Lead to define and implement the necessary policies and processes, contributing to the UK Renewables Centre of Excellence. You’ll engage with a wide range of stakeholders—from cybersecurity and digital transformation teams to onshore and offshore operations and development—ensuring seamless service delivery and system integrity. Your technical responsibilities will span Windows Server environments (2016–2022+), Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, Nutanix virtualisation, SAN storage, backup solutions, and automation scripting using PowerShell and other tools. Security and compliance are central to this role. You’ll work closely with governance teams to uphold ITIL standards, participate in disaster recovery planning, and support incident resolution and root cause analysis. You’ll also contribute to the delivery of the CoE OT portfolio plan and manage Microsoft MPSA within ScottishPower Renewables.
Qualifications
Proven experience in enterprise‑level Microsoft and virtualisation environments
Strong scripting and automation skills (PowerShell preferred)
Familiarity with ITIL processes and cloud technologies (Azure or AWS)
A solid understanding of IT in OT deployment and operational support activities
Excellent troubleshooting and communication abilities
Certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate and ITIL Foundation are highly desirable, along with knowledge of security standards including NIS/NIS2, IEC‑62443, and ISO‑27001.
If you’re ready to take on a role that blends technical depth with strategic impact, we’d love to hear from you.
