Job description

The Role

Want to work on the kind of projects most engineers only read about? We're growing our IT Project Team and looking for an experienced IT Project Engineer to deliver infrastructure transformation projects for some of our largest enterprise customers.

These aren't box-ticking installs. You'll be stepping into complex, multi-site, hybrid environments - from Citrix DaaS and Azure Virtual Desktop estates to thousand-device Intune and Autopilot rollouts - and making them modern, secure and resilient. Working from designs created by our Technical Consultants, you'll take ownership of delivery from kick-off to handover - building, configuring, migrating and making sure every project lands successfully. Through our peer review process, you'll also have a real voice in shaping each solution before it's built, bringing your hands‑on experience to the table. Along the way you'll work with the latest Microsoft cloud, security and automation technologies and see the real impact of your work on organisations that depend on it every day.

In return, we'll invest in you: structured training, funded certifications and a clear path to grow your career with us.

This is a hybrid role with regular travel to customer sites across the UK. A valid UK driving license is required.

Who are Tailor Made Technologies?

Tailor Made Technologies (TMT) is an award‑winning managed technology services provider based at Solent Business Park in Whiteley, Hampshire. We've been delivering reliable IT and excellent service since 1994, and today we bring together Managed IT, Cyber Security and Communications under one roof - all delivered in‑house by our own experts for organisations across the UK and Europe.

Our credentials speak for themselves. We're a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work, an HPE Service Provider Silver Partner, a Cyber Essentials Certification Body, and certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. Recent recognition includes Best Customer Service at the Central South Business Awards 2025, and being named Acronis's #1 Partner in Northern Europe and Wildix's #1 Partner in the UK & Ireland in 2024.

Our values - Quality, Simplicity, Transparency, Integrity and Humanity - shape how we work with our customers and with each other. As an Investors in People accredited employer, we're committed to ongoing training, mentoring and real career progression, alongside a healthy work‑life balance and an active social committee. And with our customer base growing to include larger, multi‑site organisations with demanding environments, there's never been a more exciting time to join us.

What You'll Be Doing

• Delivering enterprise projects from start to finish - taking approved designs through build, configuration, testing, cutover and handover across cloud, hybrid and on‑premises environments.
• Shaping solutions through peer review - reviewing designs with our Technical Consultants, challenging assumptions and contributing your practical experience before delivery begins.
• Modernising complex estates - migrations to Microsoft 365 and Azure, Windows 11 and Intune/Autopilot rollouts, identity and Zero Trust uplift, virtual desktop (Citrix DaaS / AVD) and infrastructure refreshes.
• Hardening security - implementing Conditional Access, MFA, EDR/XDR/MDR, firewall and network segmentation, and supporting customers towards Cyber Essentials/Plus and similar standards.
• Automating everything you can - using PowerShell, RMM tooling and modern automation to make deployments repeatable, reliable and fast.
• Solving the hard problems - troubleshooting and resolving issues in test and live environments, working through approved change control.
• Working as one team - partnering closely with Project Managers, Account Managers and Technical Consultants, and communicating confidently with customer stakeholders from IT teams to senior leadership.
• Leaving things better than you found them - producing clear documentation and runbooks so our service desk teams can hit the ground running.

What You'll Bring

• Strong infrastructure experience with Windows Server and Active Directory - this is essential.
• Solid hands‑on experience with Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Intune.
• A track record of owning projects across their full lifecycle and delivering against agreed targets.
• Confidence troubleshooting live systems and implementing change in a controlled, well‑documented way.
• Excellent communication skills and a professional, customer‑focused approach with both internal and external teams.
• Curiosity and drive - you enjoy learning new technologies and want to keep developing.
