Infrastructure Service Design Consultant - Edge Hosting

Job description

Infrastructure Service Design & Operating Model Consultant - Edge Hosting

£600-£645/day | Inside IR35 | 6 months | UK Hybrid

We are recruiting for a senior Infrastructure Service Design / Operating Model Consultant to establish a new Edge Hosting service within a global manufacturing organisation.

The programme is introducing standardised infrastructure hosting across multiple factories. The requirement is to turn the technical platform into a fully defined, governed and operational service that can be adopted consistently across the business.

This is a senior service-design and transformation role, rather than a hands-on infrastructure engineering position.

Key experience:

Establishing enterprise infrastructure, private-cloud or hybrid-cloud services

Defining Target Operating Models (TOM), service ownership, governance and RACI

Creating service catalogues, service boundaries and consumption models

Designing repeatable onboarding, deployment and service-acceptance processes

Establishing SLAs, KPIs, operational controls and reporting

ITIL service management, capacity, lifecycle, resilience and support arrangements

Coordinating architecture, engineering, security, operations and business stakeholders

Transitioning service ownership into permanent operational teams

A broad understanding of infrastructure hosting, virtualisation, cloud, networking and distributed platforms is required.

Experience of manufacturing IT/OT, Edge Hosting, SIAM, ServiceNow or global multi-site infrastructure programmes would be advantageous.

The successful consultant will be responsible for establishing a sustainable service and operating model that permanent teams can manage and develop independently.

Contract: 6 months, £600-£645/day, Inside IR35 via umbrella.

Location: UK hybrid, with customer-site engagement as required.

Please apply with a CV demonstrating infrastructure services or operating models you have personally established, rather than simply supported or transitioned...
