You’ll work hands-on with complex technical issues while also contributing to project work, service improvement initiatives, and the development of junior engineers.

  • Ensuring incidents, changes, and time entries are accurately logged
  • Maintaining and updating technical documentation as environments evolve
  • Working closely with the Service Delivery Manager to align on service standards
  • Supporting continuous service improvement and wider team objectives

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience working onsite at a client premises in a senior support capacity
  • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft 365
  • Advanced networking knowledge (TCP/IP, routing, switching, NGFWs)
  • VPN experience (site-to-site and remote access)
  • Virtualisation expertise, ideally VMware in highly available environments
  • SAN and storage technologies (iSCSI, SAN administration)
  • Enterprise Applications
  • Deep knowledge of Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy
