Technical Solutions Engineer
Full-time, On-site | £40,000 - £45,000
Are you a hands-on IT professional with a passion for solving complex technical problems? This is a rare opportunity to join a specialist technical computing company and grow into a senior leadership role over the coming years.
The Company
This is a well-established, niche technology business based in Warrington that designs and builds bespoke high-performance computing solutions for some of the most technically demanding clients in engineering, defence and R&D. They don't sell off-the-shelf IT. Customers come to them with complex problems, and the team designs, builds and delivers tailored solutions around HPC clusters, Linux systems, high-spec workstations and servers.
The Role
You'll be joining at a pivotal time, working closely with an experienced senior colleague in a structured handover and knowledge transfer period of 2-3 years, with a clear pathway to take on full ownership of the technical solutions function, and potentially grow into a GM or MD level position beyond that.
Day to day you'll be involved in:
* Meeting with customers to understand their technical challenges and requirements
* Designing and proposing bespoke hardware and infrastructure solutions
* Overseeing system builds, configuration and delivery
* Leading and mentoring a small team of IT support engineers
* Managing supplier relationships for procurement and support
* Contributing to sales activity and proposal writing
What They're Looking For
* A solid background in systems engineering or IT infrastructure
* Good working knowledge of Linux and Windows environments
* A consultative, problem-solving approach; someone who listens, thinks, and comes back with the right answer
* Customer-facing experience, comfortable with technically demanding clients
* Some exposure to servers, workstations or HPC environments would be a bonus, though not essential
* Ambition to grow; this role has a genuine long-term career trajectory attached to it
Why This Role?
This isn't a standard IT Engineer position. It's a chance to develop deep specialist expertise in a genuinely niche and interesting area of technology, with the support of an experienced mentor, working on complex and varied technical challenges for high-profile clients. If you're technically strong, commercially aware and looking for a role with real long-term progression, this is worth a conversation
