Job Description
Cloud Solutions / Office 365 / MDM / Telephony / Networking / Virtualisation
Senior IT Engineer (Client-Facing)
Up to £35,000
Bolton - Onsite
We’re partnering with a growing IT services provider in Greater Manchester who are looking to bring in a Senior IT Engineer to join their technical team. This is a hands-on, client-facing role - ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical issues while building strong relationships with clients.
You won’t have management responsibilities, but you’ll be a senior figure in the team, expected to lead by example, take ownership of high-level support and project work, and act as a trusted technical advisor to clients.
What you’ll be doing:
* Acting as an escalation point for 2nd/3rd line technical issues across a variety of client environments
* Delivering end-to-end support across servers, networking, cloud platforms (e.g. M365, Azure), VoIP, mobile devices, and MDM tools
* Getting stuck into project work - assisting with planning, implementation, and post-deployment support
* Working closely with clients - helping them get the most from their IT setup, resolving technical problems, and offering clear, jargon-free advice
* Supporting infrastructure design and deployment, both remotely and on-site when needed
* Logging and documenting work accurately - helping to maintain high service standards
* Contributing to process improvement and knowledge sharing across the team
What we’re looking for:
* Proven experience in a similar senior IT support or infrastructure engineering role
* Strong technical skills across Microsoft environments, networking, servers, and cloud-based tools
* A natural problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, client-focused environment
* Comfortable engaging with clients - able to translate technical issues into clear, practical solutions
* Detail-oriented and thorough - someone who sees tasks through to completion
* Experience working with ticketing systems, documentation, and best-practice processes
* A proactive mindset - always looking to learn and improve
Nice to have (but not a dealbreaker):
* Exposure to project delivery or involvement in technical change implementations
* Experience with ITIL-aligned processes or working within MSP or service-led environments
This is a great role for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and working closely with clients - without the need to manage a team. You’ll be supported by a collaborative group and have plenty of scope to grow technically.
