The work will include:

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.
There is also a significant data centre consolidation programme underway, so the role offers more variety than standard support or repetitive onboarding.

- Building and preparing customer environments across Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Active Directory and hosted desktop platforms
- Supporting customer onboarding and migration projects
- Migrating users, data, applications, profiles and Microsoft 365 services
- Working with technologies such as Citrix, Microsoft RDS, VMware, Hyper-V, firewalls and VPNs
- Supporting infrastructure refreshes, operating system upgrades and service improvements
- Producing clear project notes, handover documents and technical records
- Improving repeatable checklists, templates and processes
What You Will Need
You should have good practical experience with:
- Windows Server
- Active Directory and Group Policy
- Microsoft 365 administration
- Networking fundamentals
- Firewalls, VPNs or site-to-site connectivity
- Customer-facing technical support or infrastructure delivery
- Clear documentation and handover notes
Useful additional experience would include Citrix or Microsoft RDS, VMware or Hyper-V, backup and disaster recovery, SQL Server, hosted infrastructure or MSP environments.

You do not need to be an expert in every area. The role would suit either an existing Project Engineer or someone from a strong 2nd / 3rd line infrastructure background who enjoys building, migrating and improving systems.
Why Apply?
You will be joining a growing specialist MSP at the point where its projects function is being built properly.
You will work on varied customer environments, customer migrations, Microsoft 365 work, hosted desktop platforms, infrastructure refreshes and wider cloud projects. It is a smaller business, so you will have visibility, variety and the chance to make a meaningful impact.
The company is also beginning to use AI sensibly to improve technical and project workflows, while keeping a practical, customer-focused approach.
