IT Projects Engineer - #2091497

The IT Project Engineer is responsible for delivering high‑quality technical projects across customer environments, ensuring solutions are implemented to best‑practice standards, on time, and with minimal disruption. Operating within a Managed Service Provider (MSP), this role combines strong technical capability with excellent planning, communication, and customer‑facing skills.

You will work across server, cloud, networking, security, and telecoms technologies, delivering installations, migrations, upgrades, and transformation projects. The role requires a proactive, detail‑driven engineer who can take ownership of project delivery from planning through to completion. Although primarily office‑based, the position includes essential on‑site attendance for audits, onboarding, project work, and issue resolution. Participation in an on‑call rota is also required to support critical customer incidents.

• Perform system upgrades, patching, hardware installations, and infrastructure refreshes.
• Ensure all project work aligns with security best practice and compliance requirements.
• Carry out comprehensive IT audits across customer environments, assessing infrastructure, security posture, configuration standards, and operational readiness, providing clear findings and recommendations.

Collaboration & Cross‑Team Support

• Work closely with 2nd and 3rd Line teams to ensure project readiness, technical alignment, and knowledge transfer.
• Support the escalation process during complex project‑related issues or unexpected technical challenges.
• Collaborate with vendors and third‑party suppliers to coordinate installations, licensing, and technical support.
• Contribute to internal technical standards, templates, and best‑practice documentation.
• Ensure audit findings, site‑visit outcomes, and onboarding requirements are communicated effectively across internal teams.
