IT infrastructure jobs FAQs

Yes, there are currently plenty of IT infrastructure roles. The shift to remote and hybrid working has meant a spike in demand for cloud infrastructure skills and services such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. 

Infrastructure specialists are needed due to the continued building of new equipment, and second line desktop support experts have increased in strategic importance as cloud services continue to be rolled out. There will, after all, always be teething issues when implementing something new. 

As a rule, there tend to be more permanent opportunities in IT infrastructure. Its focus on consistent, robust service delivery and business continuity means opportunities are often long-term rather than project based. 

However, the increasing number of digital transformation initiatives means contractor roles are also available for migrations and other one-off projects – particularly if you have niche expertise. 

If you’re a network engineer, you should consider Cisco qualifications such as CCNA, CCNP and CCIE. Infrastructure engineers working on remote servers would find VMware certifications useful. 

If you’re looking to better understand how business objectives and digital and IT capabilities inform each other, you could consider a move into service management. Both IT and infrastructure aligned, industry-standard service management qualification ITIL uses a systematic approach. It covers both continuous improvement and service strategies and will help you to adapt infrastructures at your own organisation and give you the agility to react quickly to change.
