About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced IT Engineer to play a key role in supporting and developing EMCCA’s modern Microsoft cloud and endpoint environment.

• Resolve incidents and service requests, including escalated issues, ensuring accurate logging, clear communication, and timely resolution through the ITSM tool.
• Deliver onsite support and equipment installations across EMCCA sites, undertaking site health checks and coordinating changes and escalations with the MSP.
• Administer identity and access management, including licence management, enterprise application onboarding (SSO), and Conditional Access policies.
• Apply configuration, compliance and security policies via Intune/Autopilot and manage device lifecycle processes (joiners, movers, leavers).
• Work with suppliers and SaaS vendors, raising and tracking tickets, validating fixes, and supporting service catalogue and knowledge base updates.
• Contribute to service governance activities including change enablement, root cause analysis, knowledge management, and Cyber Essentials Plus evidence.
• Develop and maintain automation and reporting using tools such as PowerShell and Microsoft Graph.
• Create and maintain runbooks and knowledge articles, supporting a shift-left approach and continuous service improvement.

• Proven experience delivering 2nd line support in a production Microsoft 365 and Intune environment.
• Strong working knowledge of Windows, iOS and Android operating systems and the Microsoft Office suite.
• Solid understanding of desktop support environments and broader ICT infrastructure, including cloud platforms, networks and communications systems.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of complex issues, and deliver high-quality outcomes within agreed frameworks.
• Experience using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, or working with Sentinel playbooks and security tooling.
• A valid UK driving licence with business-use motor insurance.

Qualifications
