Nigel Frank is working exclusively with a well-established Microsoft MSP based in Basildon, Essex, to recruit a Senior Project Engineer to join their expanding Major Projects team.

This is a delivery-focused position centred on leading and executing Azure and Microsoft 365 cloud transformation projects for a diverse SME client base across Essex, Kent and London (including multi-site and franchise organisations).

If you enjoy taking ownership of end-to-end cloud and infrastructure projects rather than focusing purely on support, this role offers strong technical influence and project leadership responsibility.

The Role

Core Cloud Focus (Primary Requirement)

• Microsoft 365 administration and solution architecture
• Microsoft Azure design, deployment and ongoing administration
• Azure and M365 migrations (tenant-to-tenant, hybrid and full cloud transformations)
• SharePoint Online and cloud security solutions
• Hybrid infrastructure design and implementation

Supporting Infrastructure Experience

• Networking (firewalls, switches, connectivity)
• Windows Server (on-premises and hybrid environments)
• Virtualisation platforms (e.g. Hyper-V / VMware)
• Storage and core infrastructure technologies
• Strong 3rd line troubleshooting and escalation capability

You will also operate as a senior technical escalation point, contribute to solution design, and support pre-sales activities where required.

Working Model

• Hybrid role – typically 2 days per week in the Basildon office on average
• Some weeks may include client site visits

Essential Requirements

• Strong Microsoft 365 and Azure project delivery experience
• Proven track record of delivering cloud migration projects
• Full UK driving licence and own vehicle (regular client travel required)
• Able to commute to Basildon

Salary & Package

• Up to £60,000
• Private healthcare
• Pension
• 24–30 days holiday + bank holidays
• Mileage expenses for client travel

If you’re an experienced cloud professional looking to step into (or continue in) a senior project-led engineering role within a growing Microsoft partner, this opportunity offers both autonomy and progression.
