2nd/3rd Line Engineer

2nd/3rd Line IT Support Engineer About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing technology consultancy and managed service provider. This is not a traditional support role; we place customer service at the heart of everything we do, and we are looking for someone who shares that passion.

This position is ideally suited to a senior 2nd Line Engineer or an experienced 3rd Line Engineer who is confident taking ownership of complex issues and delivering high-quality technical solutions. You will work across a wide range of technologies, from on-premise infrastructure to cloud environments, while contributing to key projects and service improvements.

While some client site travel will be required, we offer a flexible hybrid working model with 1-2 days per week in the office.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide escalation support for 1st and 2nd Line engineers and handle complex Service Desk requests.

  • Perform onsite support, installations, and troubleshooting where remote resolution is not possible.

  • Take ownership of Service Desk innovation and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Create and maintain support processes, technical documentation, and internal procedures.

  • Liaise with third-party vendors to triage and resolve support issues.

  • Manage support tickets and incidents within agreed SLA timeframes.

  • Maintain relationships with suppliers for services such as IaaS, managed printing, and software vendors.

  • Install, configure, and maintain servers, PCs, and software.

  • Conduct scheduled maintenance, backups, and monitoring activities.

  • Participate in IT projects and proactively explore emerging technologies.

  • Support Microsoft 365 and cloud environments.

  • Provide internal support to non-technical staff.

Personal Attributes
  • Ownership and accountability for quality and outcomes.

  • Excellent organisational and multitasking skills.

  • Strong communicator who is clear, polite, and punctual.

  • Works effectively both independently and as part of a team.

  • Committed to continuous learning and technical development.

Knowledge & Experience
  • 5+ years' experience in IT support and technology operations.

  • Strong troubleshooting skills across both desktop and server environments.

  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and later.

  • Exposure to business integrations and mergers.

  • Knowledge of AD, O365, Azure, VMware, and Hyper-V.

  • Experience managing security gateways, backups, and endpoint protection.

  • Solid understanding of networking, LAN/WAN, and related technologies.
