We are looking for a forward-thinking Modern Workplace Project Engineer to join our growing team. This is a dual-impact role that bridges the gap between high-level project delivery and proactive service excellence.
Beyond simply maintaining the status quo, you will lead the charge in designing and implementing secure, scalable Microsoft 365 and Azure environments for our customers. As a strategic pillar of our Managed Services team, your focus will be on continuous improvement: identifying emerging trends to pre-empt issues and ensuring a seamless, high-standard transition of projects into our managed service ecosystem.

* Azure Infrastructure: Design and deploy Azure landing zone, IaaS, PaaS, storage solutions and identity management (Entra ID)
* Automation: Utilise PowerShell and other appropriate tooling to automate repetitive deployment tasks and ensure consistency across our client base
* Data-Driven Reviews: Support the Account Management team during Service Reviews by gathering and analysing technical telemetry from M365 and Azure.
* Capacity Planning: Monitor resource utilisation in Azure to provide clients with accurate scaling recommendations and cost-optimization (FinOps) strategies.
* Trend Analysis: Identify recurring technical hurdles across our client base and design systemic \"permanent fixes\" or automation scripts to reduce ticket noise.
* Reporting: Generate insights on security posture, license utilisation, and hardware lifecycle management.
