This is a varied, hands-on position combining escalated technical support, project delivery, migrations and direct client management.

This isn't purely a service desk role. You'll be expected to build strong relationships with clients, visit customer sites and confidently explain technical solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

 * Provide senior-level technical support and manage escalated tickets through to resolution.
 * Support and administer Microsoft 365 and Modern Workplace environments.
 * Deliver Microsoft 365, cloud and infrastructure migrations.
 * Lead and contribute to client IT projects from planning through to implementation.
 * Troubleshoot Windows desktop and server environments.
 * Diagnose networking issues across TCP/IP, private IP addressing, DNS, DHCP and VPNs.
 * Support and configure firewalls, networking equipment and connectivity.
 * Work directly with clients, taking ownership of technical requirements and providing recommendations.
 * Identify opportunities to improve clients' infrastructure, security and ways of working.
 * Maintain clear documentation and follow structured IT service management processes.
 * Keep up to date with emerging technologies, including AI and how these can be practically applied within client environments.
