SOC 2137 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 36% sure that is the right code. Intimate Apparel Retail UK Limited is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3131 (IT operations technicians) or SOC 5244 (Computer system and equipment installers and servicers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
The role
Technology drives what we do at NEXT, and as a Tech Placement, you will be a vital part of our evolution. This role is designed to help you learn and grow by giving you hands-on experience and real responsibilities.
As a Trainee Infrastructure Engineer on a 12-month placement at our Pontefract hub, you will play a hands-on role in keeping our warehouse infrastructure secure, robust, and future-ready. You will make a real difference by supporting the vital systems that power NEXT, working closely with our Information Security and Infrastructure teams to identify weaknesses and build secure, innovative solutions.
We don’t expect you to know everything from day one; you will be fully supported with clear technical standards, detailed documentation, and expert guidance from our Senior Engineers to help you hit the ground running and gain invaluable real-world experience.
What you'll take on
- Support the build, configuration, and maintenance of server infrastructure and storage solutions across our retail operations and head office.
- Carry out essential security remediation activities, such as patching systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and strengthening security across our wider networks.
- Assist in building and maintaining virtualisation platforms and cloud-based environments, ensuring our systems run efficiently.
- Follow the strategic direction set by our Infosec team, contributing to the overall safety and reliability of our data science and server infrastructure.
- Work collaboratively to follow established technical standards, actively using and updating documentation to support the wider team.
About you:
- Currently studying towards a STEM degree (on track for a 2:1 or higher) or a STEM Master's degree, that includes a 12-month placement—ideally with relevant studies in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cyber Security, or a similar field.
BE BRAVE. BE YOU. BE NEXT.
