Cloud Project Engineer

Two vacancies have arisen with an extremely well-regarded IT Service Provider for Project Engineers, ideally with experience working within an IT Service Provider or Managed Service provider environment.

This business is a Microsoft Gold Partner, fast-growing and as such offers exceptional career growth potential. They work primarily to support the complete IT infrastructure of their clients, largely based within the professional services domain; accountancies, law firms etc. and have a very well-established client base.

You will be involved in the delivery/implementation of the full Microsoft portfolio (M365 & Azure) together with the management of end to end project lifecycles, from conception to handover to support.

• Carefully plan the technical and operational aspects of agreed projects, collaborating and communicating internally and where necessary with the client to ensure that all elements of the project have been incorporated into the plan and are well understood.
• Undertake technical implementation activities, either stand-alone for small projects or as part of a team for larger projects.
• Act as the main point of contact with clients on designated projects to manage expectations, provide regular project reporting and to support clients in the delivery of their own responsibilities within the projects.
