## About the Role

Essential

 * Hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 in a small or mid-sized business, including Entra ID, Intune and Conditional Access.
 * Practical security experience: Defender, MFA, phishing response, patching and least-privilege administration.
 * Backup and recovery experience, including actually testing the restores.
 * Working knowledge of Windows Server, DNS, DHCP, VLANs and firewalls.
 * PowerShell for automation and reporting.
 * Working SQL and basic Python.
 * Experience supporting an ISO 27001 audit, or a similar framework.
 * Clear written communication. Runbooks, audit evidence and user guidance only work if people can follow them.
 * A full UK driving licence, for occasional customer site visits.

Desirable

 * Exposure to Ignition or another SCADA platform.
 * Familiarity with OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT or EtherNet/IP.
 * OT networking or IEC 62443 awareness.
 * Microsoft security or administration certifications.

Ignition and OT experience is a bonus, not a barrier. If you have a strong infrastructure background and a genuine curiosity about industrial systems, we'd like to hear from you.

## Description

We're looking for a mid-level IT Engineer to take ownership of our internal IT and security. At the moment, IT is looked after by the Technical Director, alongside everything else. You'll take it off his plate, report to him, and run it properly. There's a route into industrial IT and OT if you want it, and we'll teach you.

"We're a team of 14, and you'll be our first dedicated IT hire."

What you'll do

 * Administer Microsoft 365: Entra ID, Intune, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Defender and Purview.
 * Look after user accounts, laptops, software licensing and cloud services.
 * Own backups and restore testing, patching, and day-to-day support for all staff.
 * Look after our servers and office networking.
 * Gather evidence and maintain the asset register for our ISO 27001 audits.
 * Keep runbooks current, so nothing important lives in one person's head (or goes on holiday with them).
 * Over time, take on Ignition gateway administration, OT database administration, and OT/IT support on engineering projects, learning from our engineers as you go.
