• Microsoft Azure, including Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD/WVD)
• Citrix environments

• Exposure to security tools or security-focused troubleshooting
• Scripting, automation, or Infrastructure as Code experience
• Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers

• Hybrid working - 3 days per week in Solihull
• 25 days annual leave, increasing to 28 with service
• A strong healthcare and wellbeing package, including private medical cover, discounted health plans, and virtual GP access
• A comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, wellbeing, and work-life balance
• Employee assistance programme and wellbeing support
• Real opportunities for career progression and technical development
• A collaborative environment where you can make a genuine impact

This is a great opportunity for a seasoned 3rd Line Engineer who wants to:

• Work on complex, meaningful technical challenges
