Day-to-day responsibilities include planning and implementing infrastructure solutions, configuring servers, networks, and cloud platforms, and ensuring secure, reliable operation of customer environments.

Qualifications

Essential

• Experience as a project engineer in an MSP. You've scoped, planned, delivered and handed over projects for multiple customers, often at the same time.
• You live in the UK, within about an hour of Rawtenstall. Our office and many customer sites are in the North West, so you'll need to get there comfortably. (That includes places like Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Burnley, Blackburn, Preston, Wigan, Halifax and Huddersfield.)
• Hands-on time with some or all of our stack. Microsoft 365 and Intune, Cloudflare, Huntress, Acronis, Hyper-V and firewalls count for the most.
• Clear communication. You can explain a change to a customer's MD as well as to their IT lead, and you write documentation others can follow.
• The right to work in the UK.

• Microsoft certifications, or working towards them
• PowerShell or other scripting for automation
• An interest in using AI tools to make engineering work faster and more reliable
