Position Description
At CGI, we're delivering secure, resilient infrastructure that supports some of the UK's most critical defence and intelligence programmes. As a Windows Infrastructure Engineer, you'll help build and maintain mission-critical Windows environments, contributing to innovative solutions that strengthen security and performance.

We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you’ll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.
