IT Field Project Engineer - Networks

About the company

You’ll join a growing, multi-site business with a clear task: bring its network infrastructure up to a consistent, reliable standard.

Your tasks

Some sites need new equipment. Others need a refresh. And when the connection goes down, they need someone who can investigate, find the fault and resolve it.

You’ll be hands-on throughout, from the initial survey and equipment preparation through to installation and handover.

What you’ll do Visit sites to understand their existing IT setup, identify what needs changing and prepare the equipment before arriving to deliver the work.

You’ll install and upgrade routers, switches, Wi-Fi access points and hardware, troubleshoot connectivity problems, and keep site documentation accurate.

Alongside the planned projects, you’ll support day-to-day technical issues and work with the service desk to keep users connected and sites running smoothly.

As the business grows, you’ll help new sites get up and running on its IT standards.

You’ll also have some involvement with M365 (Entra, Intune, Exchange Online) when helping with day to day BAU and new client acquisitions.

Requirements

What you’ll need You’ll have hands-on experience in field IT support, infrastructure or network engineering, with a solid understanding of routers, switches, firewalls and Wi-Fi.

You’re comfortable investigating a setup you haven’t seen before, working independently and explaining technical issues to people who don’t work in IT.

UniFi experience would be useful, as would VLANs and network segregation. Experience supporting multiple sites or working for an MSP would also fit well.

A full UK driving licence and your own vehicle are essential. You’ll also need to pass an enhanced DBS check.

What we offer

£35,000 - £45,000 + £4,000 annual car allowance Walk into a site. Work out what needs improving. Get it working properly.

What’s in it for you?

• Variety: a mix of planned installations, network upgrades and day-to-day support across different sites.
• Ownership: the freedom to assess unfamiliar setups, make practical decisions and organise your workload.
• A clear technical focus: networking is at the heart of the role, with Ubiquiti/UniFi routers, switches and access points forming the standard setup.
• Room to grow: scope to get involved in bringing newly acquired sites into the business, coordinating suppliers, equipment and IT requirements.
• A wider benefits package: 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, an additional wellbeing day, private medical insurance and a healthcare cash plan.

You’ll also receive business mileage reimbursement alongside your car allowance.
