Your tasks

An experienced, SC-cleared IT Engineer is required to support a small public-sector organisation with the day-to-day operation and improvement of its IT environment.

This is a broad, hands-on role suited to someone who is comfortable being the go-to technical person across a range of technologies and issues. The environment is relatively small, so the individual will need to be practical, adaptable and happy to turn their hand to whatever is required.

  • Provide hands-on support across Microsoft technologies, networking, cloud services and on-premise infrastructure.
  • Act as the technical escalation point for more complex issues.
  • Support the day-to-day reliability and operation of the IT environment.
  • Work with and coordinate third-party IT suppliers where required.
  • Support small infrastructure changes, upgrades and improvements.
  • Work directly with users and stakeholders to understand and resolve technical issues.
  • Provide practical technical advice and guidance where needed.
