Our Infrastructure Recruitment Specialisms

We recruit IT Infrastructure Engineering roles, covering the design, maintenance, and optimisation of core technology environments that keep organisations running. Professionals in this area support servers, operating systems, virtualisation platforms, and on‑premise or hybrid environments, ensuring stability, resilience, and operational continuity. 

Network specialists design, build, and secure the connectivity that enables communication across systems, locations, and users. This includes LAN/WAN networks, SD‑WAN, firewalls, routing, switching, and wireless technologies. With the UK’s increasing adoption of cloud services and hybrid working, demand for skilled network engineers and architects remains consistently high. 

We connect employers with cloud infrastructure professionals who focus on building and managing scalable environments across leading platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. These professionals support cloud migration, automation, security, and optimisation of cloud-native architectures. 

DevOps and platform engineering specialists bridge development and operations, enabling faster, more reliable delivery of applications and infrastructure services. This includes CI/CD pipelines, automation, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code. These roles are critical for organisations moving towards agile, automated, and cloud-first technology strategies. 

Our talent network also includes Infrastructure security professionals who protect organisations from cyber threats across networks, systems, and cloud environments. This includes SOC analysts, security engineers, vulnerability specialists, and identity access experts. As security becomes a board‑level priority across UK industries, demand for infrastructure security talent continues to grow. 

Enterprise platform specialists manage large-scale business technologies such as Microsoft 365, Active Directory, modern workplace tools, and identity and access management (IAM). Their work ensures users can collaborate securely and efficiently, supporting zero‑trust models, hybrid working, and enterprise productivity. 

Client Testimonials

At Lorien, we pride ourselves on being trusted consultants to both clients and talent alike. Because together we can create a brighter future.

The team at Lorien helped me land a fantastic new role - and set the (very high) benchmark for other recruiters whilst doing so! Maintaining contact throughout, ensuring I had all the knowledge I needed, both professional yet personable and made me feel at ease. And once I started, they got in touch and checked on how I was doing. In these current times where recruiters are inundated, this level of care and service is really reassuring. Thanks again!

As a Santander contractor I like the prompt support from Lorien which helps me continuing with Santander. I love my job as it gives me much work life balance along with the freedom of work. I am blessed to be in a very good team with supportive colleagues and wish to continue my contract here for many more years!

I have been at Santander for the last 9 months and so far it has been a great experience. What I like most about working here is flexibility and the freedom given to do work. It really gets out the best of an individual when these two things are given. Looking forward to extending my contract here if opportunity allows me.

Working with Lorien has been one of the best experiences when dealing with anyone in the recruitment space. Helpful, provided clear and concise information all with a smile and good humour. Detail on the customers and processes has been spot on and responds to comms with nothing too much approach.
