• Proven experience in large-scale Microsoft 365 tenancy consolidations or tenant-to-tenant migrations.
• Strong technical skills with Microsoft 365, Entra, and Microsoft Azure.
• Hands-on experience with Windows client/server systems and virtualised networks.
• Knowledge of networking infrastructure, VPNs, firewalls, and hardware support.
