Linux Engineer / Administrator

Leading government agency (consulting through FinXL)

FinXL Professional Services is a leading IT consultancy that partners with clients to bridge the gap between business needs and technology capabilities. Since 2003, we've been delivering high-value ICT services across government, finance, telecommunications, and enterprise sectors.

FinXL is seeking an experienced Linux Engineer / Administrator to join our consulting team and be deployed with a leading government agency. This is an initial 12-month daily-rate engagement with strong potential for extension, working on mission-critical infrastructure including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and IBM Spectrum Protect within a secure enterprise environment. Baseline Security Clearance sponsorship is available for the successful consultant.


Responsibilities
  • Install, configure, and maintain Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) servers (physical and virtual).
  • Manage IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM / IBM Storage Protect) across Linux environments, including configuration, scheduling, troubleshooting failed backups, and performing data restores.
  • Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure high availability and reliability of Linux infrastructure.
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts (e.g., Bash, Python) to support operational efficiency.
  • Oversee patching, security hardening, and compliance in line with organisational standards and policies.

Key Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience as a Linux Engineer / Administrator in a large-scale enterprise environment.
  • Deep expertise with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) (v7, v8 and/or v9).
  • Significant hands-on experience with IBM Spectrum Protect for enterprise-level backup and recovery.
  • Proficiency in scripting (Bash or Python) for automation and operational support.
  • Experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible or Puppet.
  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP) and server security principles.

Why Join FinXL?
  • Work on a high-impact infrastructure program with a leading government agency.
  • Contribute to the stability, security, and performance of enterprise-grade Linux environments.
  • Join a trusted consultancy with a proven track record delivering complex technology projects.
