Job description
You'll act as the backbone of the IT support function, providing expert 2nd/3rd line support both remotely and on client sites. From advanced networking and firewalls to Microsoft 365, cloud, backup, and endpoint security technologies, you'll be working across a broad tech stack that will keep your skills sharp and your career progressing.
Day-to-day, you'll:
- Lead on Helpdesk provision and act as a key escalation point.
- Troubleshoot and configure networks, firewalls, and Windows Server environments.
- Deliver remote and onsite project engineering for clients.
- Conduct technical assessments and produce high-quality reports.
- Build lasting relationships with clients, becoming a trusted technical partner.

We want someone with genuine passion for IT infrastructure and customer service. The ideal candidate will bring:
- Strong 2nd/3rd line skills across networking, firewalls (Fortinet preferred), and Windows Server.
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365, Intune, and Entra ID.
- Solid understanding of DNS, DHCP, IP subnetting, and routing.
- Knowledge of web filtering and email protection technologies.
- Experience in MSP or education environments (desirable, not essential).
- If you've also touched on backup tech (Acronis, Veeam), XDR/EDR platforms, or virtualisation (VMware/Hyper-V), even better.
Benefits & conditions
This is a chance to join a business that genuinely invests in its people and rewards results. You'll get:
- Competitive salary + performance bonus.
- Hybrid working with home office budget.
- 22 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with service (plus your birthday off!).
- Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme.
- Company perks & wellbeing benefits.
- The freedom to innovate and a clear path for professional growth.
