Job description

The Opportunity

Ready to level up your IT career?

We’re on the hunt for a driven, customer-obsessed Level 3 IT Support Engineer to join our fast-growing team supporting a UK-based Managed Service Provider.

This isn’t your average support role. You’ll be right in the middle of the action—solving real problems, supporting live environments, and playing a key role in onboarding and upgrading client systems.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love solving complex technical challenges, and want to be part of a team that delivers real impact daily—this is for you.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Taking ownership of Level 3 escalations—diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving issues with confidence
  • Managing ticket queues like a pro—meeting SLAs and keeping clients informed every step of the way
  • Supporting the 1st and 2nd Line team when it matters most (especially during busy periods)
  • Assisting with client onboarding, upgrades, and implementations across systems, hardware, and infrastructure
  • Keeping documentation sharp, accurate, and always up to date
  • Spotting trends, recurring issues, and contributing to continuous service improvements
What You Bring
  • Proven experience in an MSP environment (non-negotiable)
  • A strong customer-first mindset—you genuinely care about outcomes
  • Confidence communicating with users at all levels (from non-tech to technical stakeholders)
  • The ability to prioritise, troubleshoot, and deliver under pressure
  • A proactive, solutions-driven approach—you don’t wait, you act
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
Your Tech Toolkit

You’ll need solid experience in:

  • Microsoft Windows Server
  • Windows 10/11
  • Active Directory (user & group management)
  • Microsoft 365 / Office 365 administration
  • Networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, VLANs = a bonus)

Bonus points if you’ve worked with:

  • Microsoft Azure
  • PSA tools (Autotask or similar)
  • Backup & DR solutions (Veeam, Datto)
  • MS-102 (Microsoft 365 Administrator)
The Bottom Line

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just “do the job” —
we want someone who owns it, improves it, and elevates it.

Why Join Growth Resourcing?
  • Competitive salary with strong growth potential
  • Be part of a scaling business backed by UK sales leaders
  • Work in a high-performance, supportive environment
  • Real career progression opportunities—we grow people, not just teams
  • Learn fast, move fast, and make an impact from day one
