2nd Line Support Engineer
Location: Remote (UK)
Type: Full Time
The Company
Our client is a growing organisation looking to strengthen their IT support function. As demand across the business continues to increase, they are looking for a 2nd Line Support Engineer to take ownership of escalated technical issues and support the wider service desk team.
The Role
- You'll take ownership of escalated incidents from 1st line, investigating and resolving more complex hardware, software, network and infrastructure issues through to root cause.
- You'll support and administer servers, Active Directory, Microsoft 365 and cloud services, and get involved in troubleshooting network issues across switches, firewalls, VPNs and Wi-Fi.
- Alongside the technical work, you'll provide mentoring and guidance to 1st line engineers, contribute to technical documentation, and work closely with 3rd line support on projects and problem management, making sure tickets are resolved within agreed SLAs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
