Up to £35,000 DoE + Benefits A well-established and growing MSP in North Essex is looking for an experienced, customer-focused Senior IT Engineer to join their Support & Projects team. This is a varied, hands-on role split between 2nd/3rd line support and project delivery, with a pipeline of 15 Intune migrations already lined up and ready to go.

- Carry out server migrations (server to server and server to cloud), infrastructure upgrades and firewall configuration.
- Deploy and manage Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune and Azure environments alongside traditional on-premise servers and networking.
- Share knowledge with the wider team and assist with escalated issues, while maintaining accurate time recording and documentation.
What You'll Bring: - Proven experience in a senior support or engineering role within an MSP, supporting multiple customer environments.
- Experience independently delivering technical projects from requirements and planning through to testing and handover.
- Strong knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory and Hyper-V, plus solid Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune and Azure experience.
- Good networking knowledge (firewalls, VPNs, VLANs), with image-based backup/DR and Autotask/Datto experience a bonus.
- A calm, customer-first approach with excellent communication skills.
- Full UK driving licence and own vehicle essential.
- Relevant certifications (Microsoft, CompTIA etc) are a plus.
What's on Offer: - Salary up to £35,000 (depending on experience)
- 22 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
- A varied role combining support and project delivery
- A busy pipeline of Intune and Microsoft 365 projects
- A supportive, customer-centric team within a respected MSP
