A Bit About Us

At Waterstons, we don’t just build technology—we create meaningful business transformations. With a global presence spanning the UK and Australia, we partner with businesses to unlock their full potential through innovative solutions.

Our clients tell us our people are our greatest strength, and who are we to disagree? That’s why we invest in our team with unlimited holidays, flexible working, and private healthcare—because we believe the best work happens when people feel valued.

Did we also mention that we’ve been awarded Gold Investors in People for a fourth consecutive time?

What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you'll work closely with clients to understand their challenges and design tailored technical solutions. You’ll lead large projects, contribute to proposals and documentation, and support both in-person and virtual client engagements. With broad technical knowledge and deep expertise in key areas, you’ll also handle occasional escalations from our Managed Services team.

As part of a growing, hands-on team, you’ll work across the tech spectrum. Often delivering projects end-to-end, not just designing solutions but seeing them through to implementation across clients of all sizes and sectors.

The role includes a blend of office-based and client site work, with an expectation to be on site or in the office approximately 3 days per week.

Your Day-to-Day

• Experience across a broad range of Microsoft and/or other technologies
• Deep expertise in one or more of the following areas:
• Infrastructure: Servers, Storage, VMware, Backup, DR, Veeam, Windows
• Modern Workplace: O365/M365, Intune, Autopilot, SCCM, Entra AD/identity
• Security: Email filtering, web filtering, MFA, AV, ATA/ATP
• Connectivity: Cisco, Meraki, Fortinet, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, DHCP, IP addressing, VLAN, BGP, VRF, ACL
  
  

What We're Looking For

If some (or most) of the following sound like you, we'd love to hear from you:

• At least 3 years of experience in a Microsoft technology environment, ideally within a consulting or MSP setting
• Broad technical expertise across Microsoft technologies
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with a focus on excellent customer service
• Proven ability to influence stakeholders, set expectations, and independently manage projects
• Active certifications that support your technical experience
  
  

What Would Be Great To Have

• Experience in acquisitions or divestments, i.e. taking the architect/lead role in an acquisition or divestment for a client.
  
  

How We Take Care Of You

As well as offering a competitive salary, we have an attractive benefits package including:

• A healthy work life balance with flexible and agile working being the norm
• Unlimited holiday allowance
• EV car scheme (salary sacrifice)
• Rest days
• Room to grow with supported development opportunities and sponsored training
• Enhanced family policies
• If you ever need it, company sick pay and life assurance
• Supported wellbeing with regular initiatives, an employee assistance programme and private medical insurance
• Flexible benefits such as a dental scheme, eye care support, season ticket loan and cycle to work
  
  

We require a security check to be carried out on all colleagues due to the nature of some of our clients’ industries.

Waterstons is committed to creating and an inclusive, understanding, and flexible place to work. We value diversity, equality and inclusion and encourage everyone to 'bring their whole selves' to work.
