Role Overview:

We are looking for a highly hands-on Infrastructure / EUC Engineer to support a fast-paced programme of business integrations and technology deployments.

• Build, configure and deploy Windows 11 laptops and end-user devices using Microsoft Intune and Autopilot.

• Install, package, deploy and test business applications, including Win32 and line-of-business applications.
