Job description
Working alongside our CTO, another Senior IT Engineer, and a small team of engineers, youâll take the lead on complex technical work while staying close to our customers and the day-to-day operation of the business., As a Senior IT Engineer, youâll take ownership of customer outcomes from the first technical conversation through to implementation, handover and ongoing support. Youâll ensure work is well planned, clearly communicated, documented and delivered to a high standard.
No two days will look exactly the same. The role combines project delivery, third-line support, customer relationship management and the practical commercial tasks that keep a growing MSP running smoothly.
Youâll be a senior, trusted member of a close-knit team: confident working independently, generous with your knowledge and willing to step into whatever needs attention. Youâll support and mentor colleagues, improve our ways of working and help us scale without losing the personal service our customers value.
The role is primarily office-based, with occasional travel to customer sites across the UK. There will also be occasional planned out-of-hours work for project implementations where this minimises disruption to our clients.
What Youâll Be Doing
- Owning the technical delivery of customer projects from discovery and planning through to implementation, documentation and handover
- Designing, implementing and supporting Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace environments
- Managing and supporting Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, Intune and Windows environments
- Configuring networking equipment, firewalls and wireless solutions
- Improving customersâ security posture across identity, devices, email, cloud services and networks
- Providing third-line support for complex customer issues and helping the team keep support tickets moving
- Building strong client relationships, understanding requirements and recommending practical, commercially appropriate solutions
- Supporting technical discovery and pre-sales, including scoping solutions, contributing to proposals and setting clear expectations
- Leading customer onboarding and ensuring new clients, users and services transition smoothly into support
- Supporting and mentoring other engineers, sharing knowledge and improving technical standards and processes
- Helping with billing and account queries by checking technical details, clarifying work completed and ensuring customers receive accurate information
- Pitching in across the support queue and wider business when priorities change - no âthatâs not my jobâ mentality
