Job Description

2nd/3rd Line IT Infrastructure & Projects Lead

Maidenhead, Berkshire

£35,000-£42,000 + Benefits

Our client, a well-respected Managed Services Provider near Maidenhead, is scaling up and needs a strong 2nd Line lead who can take charge, lead from the front, and build outstanding client relationships along the way.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Handle complex issues across Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Azure, SharePoint, Teams & more
• Build and implement slick technical solutions for new and existing customers
• Onboard new clients (not just adding a user… we’re talking full-on migrations)
• Work across cloud and on-prem setups - from Azure Virtual Desktop to RDS
• Be the escalation point for the 1st Line team when things get tricky
• Act as the link between the support desk and the customer - you’ll need the people skills to match the tech wizardry

You’ll Need To Know Your Way Around…

• Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Intune, Entra ID, Teams, SharePoint)
• Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, and user management
• Firewalls, networking, IP telephony (bonus if you’ve danced with Gamma Horizon)
• Basic PowerShell scripting (or at least not afraid of the command line)
• Remote Desktop, RDS / Terminal Services
• Apple Mac OS (nice to have)
• Microsoft Azure - any experience here = big brownie points

We’re Looking For Someone Who’s…

• Working in an MSP (mandatory - apologies internal-only IT folks!)
• Confident supporting, configuring, and deploying Microsoft 365 services
• Done full customer onboardings (yep, from scratch)
• Got solid leadership instincts - or wants to grow into a management role in the future
• Brilliant with clients, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoys solving problems
• Hungry to keep learning and develop their skillset even further

Why This Role Rocks…

• You’ll be key to the company’s next phase of growth
• This isn’t a "keep the lights on" gig - it’s strategic, hands-on, and high-impact
• Real progression into management as the business scales
• Exposure to Azure, virtual environments, and exciting new tech

Because this business is going places - and with the right lead in this role, so will you.
