The IT Project Engineer
The IT Project Engineer is responsible for delivering high-quality technical projects across customer environments, ensuring solutions are implemented to best-practice standards, on time, and with minimal disruption. Operating within a Managed Service Provider (MSP), this role combines strong technical capability with excellent planning, communication, and customer-facing skills.
You will work across server, cloud, networking, security, and telecoms technologies, delivering installations, migrations, upgrades, and transformation projects. The role requires a proactive, detail-driven engineer who can take ownership of project delivery from planning through to completion. Although primarily office-based, the position includes essential on-site attendance for audits, onboarding, project work, and issue resolution. Participation in an on-call rota is also required to support critical customer incidents.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Delivery & Implementation
- Deliver IT, cloud, networking, and telecoms projects to a high standard, ensuring accuracy, quality, and adherence to scope.
- Install, configure, and migrate systems including servers, networks, Microsoft 365, Azure, firewalls, Wi-Fi, and end-user devices.
- Conduct pre-installation checks, risk assessments, and readiness reviews to ensure smooth project execution.
- Work closely with Project Managers to plan workloads, provide technical input, and ensure milestones are met.
- Produce clear project documentation including implementation plans, configuration notes, and post-installation reports.
- Support customer go-lives, cutovers, and out-of-hours project work when required.
- Attend customer sites when necessary for IT audits, onboarding activities, project delivery, and investigation of issues that cannot be resolved remotely.
