Job description
We're on the lookout for a Second Line Systems Engineer to strengthen our technical support team in Cornwall. You'll be part of a close-knit group that keeps hundreds of users across multiple businesses up and running every single day.
This is a hands-on role where you'll troubleshoot, advise, and deliver practical solutions, whether remotely from the helpdesk or occasionally on-site with clients.

- Supporting clients' networks, servers, and cloud systems to keep operations running smoothly.
- Assisting with infrastructure upgrades and new software rollouts.
- Collaborating with senior engineers on project planning and technical delivery.
- Monitoring system performance and identifying potential security or performance risks.
- Sharing knowledge with colleagues and helping less experienced technicians grow.
- Keeping documentation accurate and up to date.
Requirements
- At least 2 years in a technical support or IT service role.
- Confidence working with Microsoft 365 (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Azure AD).
- Strong understanding of networks (LAN/WAN, VLAN, VPNs, Wi-Fi, IP addressing).
- Familiar with backup technologies and cloud-based storage.
- Comfortable managing Windows Server environments (Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, GPOs, etc.).
- Experience within a Managed Service Provider.
- Full UK driving licence.
- Technical certifications such as CompTIA A+ or equivalent.
Benefits & conditions
- Competitive salary
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (with increases for long service)
- Company pension, life insurance and private health cover
- Regular social and team-building events
