Work alongside the Service Desk, Project and Account Management teams to ensure successful client outcomes. Provide technical consultancy and guidance to customers throughout the project lifecycle. Identify opportunities to improve client infrastructure, security and overall IT environments. Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and to a high technical standard.

About You

You’ll ideally have:

Previous experience working within an MSP / Managed Services environment. Experience delivering IT infrastructure and cloud projects from start to finish. Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Azure. Good understanding of networking, servers, virtualisation and cybersecurity. Experience supporting or designing technical solutions for customers. Previous involvement in presales, solution design or technical scoping. The ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical escalations. Strong communication and client-facing skills. Excellent organisation and project ownership skills. A genuine desire to develop technically and take ownership of your work.

What's on Offer?

Salary up to £50,000, depending on experience. Potential commission on top of salary. A varied role combining consultancy, presales, project delivery and escalations. The opportunity to work on interesting and technically challenging projects. A position with genuine responsibility and client interaction. Career development within a growing IT services environment.

If you're an experienced 3rd Line Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant or Senior Infrastructure Engineer looking to move into a broader consultancy-focused role, this could be an excellent opportunity.
