2nd Line Support Engineer
Ashford, Kent – Office-based
Up to £32,000 DOE
Are you currently working in IT support and ready to strengthen your technical skills?
Do you enjoy troubleshooting across Microsoft 365, desktop, and user environments?
Are you looking for an MSP where you can genuinely progress, not stay stuck on the same tickets?
If so, this could be a strong next step.
We are recruiting for a 1st / 2nd Line Support Engineer to join a well-established Managed Service Provider in Ashford. This role is ideal for someone operating at strong 1st Line level or early 2nd Line who wants broader exposure and clear development.
The Opportunity
You will join a busy, collaborative service desk supporting a wide range of external clients. The environment is structured but fast-moving, and you will gain hands-on exposure across desktop, Microsoft 365, and core infrastructure support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
