Senior Engineer – MSP (Microsoft 365 / Intune / Azure / Networking)

Whitstable, Kent

Hybrid – typically 2 days from home

£40,000 – £45,000

  • Are you currently working in an MSP and feel ready to step into a more senior, technically trusted role?
  • Do you enjoy being the person others turn to when things get more complex?
  • Would you like a role where you can lead projects, support junior engineers, and work across modern Microsoft and networking environments without moving away from hands-on engineering?

If so, this could be an excellent next step.

We are working with a growing Managed Service Provider based in Whitstable that supports a broad range of SME clients across Microsoft 365, cloud, networking, and modern workplace technologies. They are now looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to become the senior technical escalation point within the team and help lead the delivery of client projects.

This is not a management role.

This is a hands-on senior engineering position where your technical depth, calm approach, and ability to solve problems properly will matter.

The Role

You will work across a wide variety of client environments, supporting infrastructure, networking, Microsoft 365, Azure, and modern workplace technologies. You will act as the senior technical escalation point for more complex issues, lead project delivery work, and support junior engineers as part of the wider team.

The role offers strong technical variety and would suit somebody who enjoys both troubleshooting and project-based work.

What you will be doing

  • Acting as the senior technical escalation point for complex client issues
  • Leading infrastructure and Microsoft 365 projects across SME environments
  • Supporting and mentoring junior engineers through more complex technical issues
  • Installing, configuring, and maintaining Microsoft 365, Azure, networking, and cloud environments
  • Re-architecting customer networks where improvements can be made
  • Supporting Modern Workplace technologies including Intune and device management
  • Visiting client sites when required
  • Working closely with leadership on larger technical and strategic projects

Technical experience required

  • Strong Microsoft 365 administration experience
  • Intune experience is essential, including Autopilot, compliance policies, and application deployment
  • Azure experience including tenancy management, identity, and core services
  • Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, and Entra ID
  • Networking experience including routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs, DNS, and DHCP
  • WatchGuard firewall experience would be highly beneficial
  • Teams Phone and/or 3CX experience would be advantageous
  • Previous experience delivering infrastructure projects within an MSP environment

What they are looking for

  • Somebody confident operating as a senior technical engineer within an MSP
  • Calm, methodical, and professional under pressure
  • Comfortable supporting and guiding junior engineers
  • Strong communication and client-facing skills
  • Somebody who enjoys learning and keeping up with modern technologies
  • Interest in automation, AI-enabled tooling, and modern ways of working would be beneficial

What is on offer

  • Hybrid working with typically 2 days working from home
  • A technically varied role across cloud, networking, Microsoft 365, and infrastructure
  • Exposure to modern tooling, automation, AI, and evolving technologies
  • A growing MSP environment where your input matters
  • Long-term progression opportunities into more senior technical leadership over time
  • Additional requirements
  • Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential
  • Must be within reasonable travelling distance of Whitstable and client sites

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
