Managing and prioritising workload in line with SLAs
Monitoring and responding to alerts from RMM tools
Maintaining clear and accurate documentation and knowledge articles
Identifying trends and driving service improvements
Supporting internal initiatives to improve tools, processes, and standards
Communicating effectively, translating technical detail into clear, business-friendly language

What We're Looking For

You'll be a confident and technically strong support professional who thrives on solving complex problems and taking ownership.

Essential Experience

Proven background in a Senior / 3rd Line Support role (ideally within an MSP)
Windows desktop and server environments
Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, Intune, Entra ID / Azure AD)
Active Directory, Group Policy, and core infrastructure services
Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, VPNs)
Firewalls, switches, and general networking devices
Virtualisation (VMware, Hyper-V, or similar)
Microsoft Azure, including Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD/WVD)
Citrix environments

Desirable

Exposure to security tools or security-focused troubleshooting
Scripting, automation, or Infrastructure as Code experience
Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers

What's in It for You

Hybrid working - 3 days per week in Solihull
25 days annual leave, increasing to 28 with service
A strong healthcare and wellbeing package, including private medical cover, discounted health plans, and virtual GP access
A comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, wellbeing, and work-life balance
Employee assistance programme and wellbeing support
Real opportunities for career progression and technical development
A collaborative environment where you can make a genuine impact

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for a seasoned 3rd Line Engineer who wants to:

Work on complex, meaningful technical challenges
Move beyond ticket resolution into true problem ownership
Influence service delivery and continuous improvement
Be part of a forward-thinking, supportive technical team
