A highly established organisation is seeking a 2nd / 3rd Line Support Engineer to join on an initial 6-month contract with strong potential for extension. This role sits within a fast-moving technical environment where the focus is split between BAU escalation support and hands-on infrastructure project delivery. You will be working closely with infrastructure, cloud and security teams on key transformation and improvement initiatives.

The 2nd / 3rd Line Support Engineer will not only be responsible for resolving complex escalations, but will also play a key role in delivering infrastructure and cloud-based projects end-to-end. This includes assisting with system migrations, modern workplace rollouts, identity and access improvements and automation initiatives. This is a highly delivery-focused role where project work is a core part of the day-to-day, not just an add-on.

The successful 2nd / 3rd Line Support Engineer will have a proactive mindset, strong technical depth and the ability to take ownership of tasks within both support and project environments. You will be expected to work independently on project streams while also collaborating across wider technical teams.
