As an IT Field Engineer, you'll split your time between on-site customer visits and remote support, with a strong focus on network installations and infrastructure projects.

* A working knowledge of networking technologies, ideally with some exposure to Cisco and/or Fortinet routers, switches, and firewalls
* Familiarity with Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Azure, and Hyper-V
* Good troubleshooting skills across networks, servers, and end-user devices, with a willingness to learn and develop further
* Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to represent the company professionally on customer sites
* A proactive, "can-do" attitude and willingness to travel to various customer locations
* Well organised, with strong time management skills to balance support tickets and project work
