IT Support Engineer | 2nd Line/ Infrastructure | Wigan | Up to £32K

Are you an IT professional looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact, not just log tickets?

Looking for a role with career progression to team lead?

I'm working exclusively with a well-established, market-leading business that's at an exciting point in their growth journey. They're building out their internal IT function, and this is your chance to get in early, own real projects, and grow with them.

The Role

This is a varied 1st/2nd line support position with a strong infrastructure flavour. You'll be joining a business that's moving away from third-party MSP support and bringing everything in-house gradually so the scope here is broad, the projects are meaningful, and the visibility is high.

You won't be stuck at a helpdesk. Think Azure migrations, networking across multiple European sites, and implementing new business systems. There's a clear path to a Team Lead position as the internal IT team continues to grow.

What's On Offer

  • Salary up to £32,000 DOE
  • Wigan-based with some hybrid working available
  • Travel to European sites, including a new office opening in Portugal and an office move in France (all expenses covered: flights, hotels, food)
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • 5% employer pension
  • Flexible working hours
  • Free parking
  • Staff events and European site trips fully covered

What They're Looking For

Three things matter most to this client:

Azure: You'll be hands-on with a migration from on-prem to Azure, so experience in a hybrid environment is key.

Intune: Device management experience is essential as they modernise their endpoint setup.

Networking: You'll be helping connect UK sites and supporting the setup of new European locations, so solid networking fundamentals are a must.

Upcoming Projects You'll Be Part Of

  • On-prem to Azure cloud migration
  • Implementation of Business Central
  • Building out a fully in-house IT team (replacing 3rd party dependency)

A Bit About the Business

This company is a huge market leader in the field services industry. We're talking 34+ years of industry experience, operations spanning the UK and six European countries, plus client relationships with some of the biggest names in their industry. They're known for their quality and reliability, and the internal IT function is now catching up with the ambition of the wider business.

The Process

  1. 20-minute Teams call — a quick chat to see if it's a fit both ways
  2. On-site visit — come and see the office, meet the team, get a real feel for the place
