The Role

As a IT Solutions Engineer you'll take ownership of the company's internal technology function, ensuring our people have secure, reliable systems that enable them to do their best work every day.

Alongside this, you will play a key role in identifying practical opportunities to introduce AI into business processes, automating repetitive tasks and helping every department become more productive through intelligent use of technology.

This is a genuinely hands‑on role where no two days are the same. You'll be trusted to identify problems, propose solutions and deliver meaningful improvements across the business.
