Project Engineer

If you are in infrastructure support and want more of your week spent building, migrating and improving systems rather than only reacting to tickets, this role is worth a look.
This is a Project Engineer role with a growing specialist cloud and managed services provider that delivers hosted IT environments for accountancy firms.

Project Engineer
Redhill, Surrey
£45,000 - £55,000
Hybrid working, 3 days per week in the office

The business is established, growing and well known in its niche. It provides full hosted IT platforms for customers, including hosted desktops, Microsoft 365, servers, line-of-business applications, storage, backup, networking and VPN connectivity.
They are now building a dedicated projects function, creating a good opportunity for someone from a strong 2nd / 3rd line, infrastructure or MSP background who wants to move further into project delivery.

The role
You will work on customer infrastructure projects across hosted desktop, Microsoft 365 and managed cloud environments.

The work will include new customer onboarding, migrations onto the hosted platform, existing customer refresh projects, infrastructure upgrades and wider service improvements. There is also a significant data centre consolidation programme underway, so the role offers more variety than standard support or repetitive onboarding.

You will be involved in:

Building and preparing customer environments across Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Active Directory and hosted desktop platforms
Supporting customer onboarding and migration projects
Migrating users, data, applications, profiles and Microsoft 365 services
Working with technologies such as Citrix, Microsoft RDS, VMware, Hyper-V, firewalls and VPNs
Supporting infrastructure refreshes, operating system upgrades and service improvements
Producing clear project notes, handover documents and technical records
Improving repeatable checklists, templates and processes
What you will need

You should have good practical experience with:

Windows Server
Active Directory and Group Policy
Microsoft 365 administration
Networking fundamentals
Firewalls, VPNs or site-to-site connectivity
Customer-facing technical support or infrastructure delivery
Clear documentation and handover notes
Useful additional experience would include Citrix or Microsoft RDS, VMware or Hyper-V, backup and disaster recovery, SQL Server, hosted infrastructure or MSP environments.
You do not need to be an expert in every area. The role would suit either an existing Project Engineer or someone from a strong 2nd / 3rd line infrastructure background who enjoys building, migrating and improving systems.

Why apply?
You will be joining a growing specialist MSP at the point where its projects function is being built properly.
You will work on varied customer environments, customer migrations, Microsoft 365 work, hosted desktop platforms, infrastructure refreshes and wider cloud projects. It is a smaller business, so you will have visibility, variety and the chance to make a meaningful impact.

The company is also beginning to use AI sensibly to improve technical and project workflows, while keeping a practical, customer-focused approach.
