The business is seeking a technically strong Senior Systems & Technology Engineer to take ownership of its day‑to‑day IT environment, supporting approx 100 users across office, warehouse and remote locations. Reporting to the MD and CFO, you will work as part of a small, two-person internal IT team in a broad, autonomous, hands‑on role across Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, Windows Server, networking, infrastructure and cybersecurity. As a a self-driven, hands‑on problem‑solver, you will independently investigate complex technical issues, identify root causes and implement effective, lasting solutions by resolving technical challenges firsthand rather than relying others to do the technical work.

You are an independent specialist, investigate unfamiliar issues methodically, evaluate alternative solutions and make sound decisions based on technical effectiveness, security, cost and business impact. You take ownership from initial investigation through to confirmed resolution, preferring to work with technology over managing people, a desire to continue developing technically while having genuine ownership and influence over the IT environment.
