Job description

Technical Consultant – Microsoft Cloud & Infrastructure

Brighton or Surrey – 2 positions available

James Adams is working with an established and growing UK Managed Services business to recruit two experienced Project Engineers / Consultants into its Professional Services team.

This is a great opportunity for someone from an MSP, IT services or technical consultancy background who enjoys delivering projects rather than simply supporting established environments.

You’ll take ownership of customer projects across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Intune, Modern Workplace, cloud migrations and hybrid infrastructure, working with customers from initial discovery and planning through to implementation and handover.

The environment is varied, so alongside Microsoft cloud you’ll gain exposure to networking, security, virtualisation and wider infrastructure technologies.

What will you be doing?

• Delivering Microsoft 365, Azure and Modern Workplace projects
• Planning and delivering Microsoft 365 migrations across email, files, collaboration, identity and devices
• Implementing Entra ID, Intune, Autopilot, Conditional Access and endpoint security solutions
• Working across Azure, Windows Server, Active Directory and hybrid infrastructure
• Configuring networking technologies including firewalls, switches, VPNs, VLANs and wireless
• Leading customer discovery sessions and technical workshops
• Producing implementation plans, technical documentation and project handovers
• Managing technical risks, dependencies and project requirements
• Working directly with customers, vendors and internal technical specialists
• Providing technical guidance to more junior engineers

What are we looking for?

You’ll ideally have previous experience working within an MSP or customer-facing technical consultancy and a strong background delivering Microsoft cloud and infrastructure projects.

We’re particularly interested in experience across:

• Entra ID, MFA & Conditional Access
• Cloud and Microsoft 365 migrations

Experience with technologies such as Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Purview, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Fortinet, SonicWall, Cisco, Meraki or Ubiquiti would be advantageous but isn’t essential.

Microsoft certifications would also be welcomed.

The package includes £45,000–£55,000 basic salary, 5% employer pension contribution, subsidised health and dental care, life assurance, generous holiday allowance, your birthday off and a range of additional benefits.
