A great opportunity for an experienced, customer-focused Senior Service Desk Engineer to join a growing MSP supporting a mix of on-premises and Azure customer environments.

As Senior Service Desk Engineer, you'll need a genuine passion for problem-solving and a customer-first mindset, comfortable balancing hands-on troubleshooting with longer-term project and delivery work.

Strong written and verbal communication is essential, along with a collaborative approach - you'll be working closely with the wider support team and helping strengthen relationships with customers.
