At The HBP Group, we believe great technology is only part of the solution. What truly sets us apart is our people and the effortless experience they create for our customers.

We're looking for a Senior Service Desk Engineer (3rd Line) who thrives on solving complex technical challenges, taking ownership when others can't, and restoring customer confidence when it matters most.

This isn't a typical 3rd Line support role.

You'll be our senior technical troubleshooter... the person we trust to step into our most challenging customer situations, coordinate teams, solve complex infrastructure issues, and deliver outcomes that leave customers feeling supported, informed and valued.

If you're technically exceptional, calm under pressure, and passionate about delivering outstanding customer experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

• Own and resolve high-priority technical escalations from start to finish.
• Act as the senior technical contact during major customer incidents.
• Travel to customer sites when hands-on expertise is needed.
• Lead investigations across Microsoft, networking, cloud and infrastructure technologies.
• Work closely with Project Delivery, Service Delivery, Technical Services and third-party vendors.
• Communicate confidently with customers, translating technical complexity into clear, reassuring updates.
• Identify root causes—not just quick fixes—and drive continual service improvement.
• Help improve standards, documentation and processes across the business.

• 3+ years in a senior technical support or infrastructure role

• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to customer sites

Technical expertise

You’ll have experience across several of the following:

• Microsoft 365
• Windows Server
• Active Directory & Entra ID
• Networking (Switching, Routing, Firewalls & VPNs)
• VMware / Hyper-V
• Storage technologies
• Backup & Disaster Recovery
• Security technologies

Microsoft certifications and networking certifications are highly desirable.

What Makes You Different

Technical skills will get you noticed.

Your attitude is what will make you successful.

At HBP we look for people who:

• Take ownership rather than passing problems on.
• Build trust through honest, proactive communication.
• Make technology easy for customers to understand.
• Stay calm and solutions-focused under pressure.
• Work collaboratively across teams.
• Constantly look for ways to improve both customer experience and service delivery.

We believe every interaction should make life easier for our customers.

Why Join The HBP Group?

We're committed to creating an environment where talented people can do their best work.

• Working with modern Microsoft and infrastructure technologies
