Managed Services Engineer — Automation & Service Improvement
Probrand | Birmingham | Full-time
Salary: £30k - £40k pa, dependent on experience
Hours: 08:45-17:30, Monday to Friday
The opportunity
Probrand's Managed Services team delivers a broad portfolio of services to customers across the UK — network monitoring, managed wireless, endpoint security, backup and disaster recovery, firewalls and VPN, email security, patching and security awareness training.
This newly created role will lead automation and service improvement across a growing managed services business. Working closely with the Managed Services Manager, you will identify where time is being lost, introduce smarter ways of working, and turn improvement ideas into practical change.
This is a high-visibility role for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving how teams work and delivering measurable operational impact — with real scope to shape how Managed Services runs.
What you'll be doing
- Identify repetitive, manual and time-consuming work across the managed services portfolio, then automate it using NinjaOne, native platform automation and AI-enabled tools where they genuinely reduce operational overhead.
- Analyse where the team spends the most time and effort, then build a prioritised improvement roadmap with clear owners, measurable outcomes and practical delivery steps.
- Review service health, monitoring coverage, patch compliance and onboarding quality — turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
- Define and standardise best-practice processes for onboarding, service transitions and operational procedures, reducing rework and inconsistency.
- Work with support, projects, technical and sales teams to improve cross-departmental workflows, reduce friction in customer handovers, and make service transitions easier to repeat consistently.
- Support pre-sales and proof-of-concept conversations where technical credibility matters, and help shape future service offerings.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
