Job description

If you are in infrastructure support and want more of your week spent building, migrating and improving systems rather than only reacting to tickets, this role is worth a look.

This is a Project Engineer role with a growing specialist cloud and managed services provider that delivers hosted IT environments for accountancy firms.

Redhill, Surrey

Hybrid working, 3 days per week in the office

The business is established, growing and well known in its niche. It provides full hosted IT platforms for customers, including hosted desktops, Microsoft 365, servers, line-of-business applications, storage, backup, networking and VPN connectivity.

The role

You will work on customer infrastructure projects across hosted desktop, Microsoft 365 and managed cloud environments.

The work will include new customer onboarding, migrations onto the hosted platform, existing customer refresh projects, infrastructure upgrades and wider service improvements. There is also a significant data centre consolidation programme underway, so the role offers more variety than standard support or repetitive onboarding.

You will be involved in:

• Building and preparing customer environments across Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Active Directory and hosted desktop platforms
• Supporting customer onboarding and migration projects
• Migrating users, data, applications, profiles and Microsoft 365 services
• Working with technologies such as Citrix, Microsoft RDS, VMware, Hyper-V, firewalls and VPNs
• Supporting infrastructure refreshes, operating system upgrades and service improvements
• Producing clear project notes, handover documents and technical records
• Improving repeatable checklists, templates and processes

What you will need

You should have good practical experience with:

• Windows Server
• Active Directory and Group Policy
• Microsoft 365 administration
• Firewalls, VPNs or site-to-site connectivity
• Customer-facing technical support or infrastructure delivery
• Clear documentation and handover notes

Useful additional experience would include Citrix or Microsoft RDS, VMware or Hyper-V, backup and disaster recovery, SQL Server, hosted infrastructure or MSP environments.

Why apply?

You will be joining a growing specialist MSP at the point where its projects function is being built properly.

You will work on varied customer environments, customer migrations, Microsoft 365 work, hosted desktop platforms, infrastructure refreshes and wider cloud projects. It is a smaller business, so you will have visibility, variety and the chance to make a meaningful impact.

The company is also beginning to use AI sensibly to improve technical and project workflows, while keeping a practical, customer-focused approach.

Package

• Hybrid working, 3 days per week in the Redhill office
• 22 days annual leave, rising to 25 with service
• Bank holidays
• 5% performance-based bonus
• Company phone and laptop
• In-house and external training opportunities
• Regular team social events
