Cloud Platforms Administrator - 18 Month FTC

Location: Manchester - Office one day per week

At Salix, we're committed to helping drive the UK's transition to net zero. Established in 2004, we operate with a team of over 200 professionals and are wholly owned by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Our mission is to inspire and empower organisations across the UK to meet ambitious decarbonisation goals, creating sustainable environments where people live and work.

We deliver vital funding schemes to public and private sector organisations—from councils and schools to housing associations and universities—to improve energy efficiency, alleviate fuel poverty, and reduce environmental impacts. Our work involves more than funding; we provide expert advice, professional support, and share insights to enhance project successes and policy development.

If you share our passion for tackling climate change, we offer a career full of impact, opportunities, and innovation.
