✅ Solid hands-on experience in IT support or delivery

✅ Strong Microsoft stack knowledge — Windows Desktop, Windows Server, M365

✅ Experience with cloud technologies — Azure, Intune, SharePoint

✅ Networking fundamentals — firewalls, routers, switches, wireless

✅ A troubleshooter at heart — tenacious, solution-focused, loves a challenge

✅ Full UK driving licence (essential)

Bonus Points For

⭐ Previous MSP experience

⭐ Microsoft certifications or vendor qualifications (Meraki, SonicWall, Cisco, Aruba)

What You'll Get

💰 Up to £35,000 base salary

🚐 Company van provided

⏰ Overtime and on-call allowances

📈 Clear progression routes — Team Leader, Solutions Engineer and beyond

🤝 The backing of a $1bn technology business with real momentum

Why Focus Group?

We're not a business standing still. We're scaling, acquiring, and investing in AI to redefine what great managed services look like. Our engineers are at the heart of that — trusted, technically stretched, and given the tools to do their best work.

If you're a self-starter who thrives on variety, loves solving real problems, and wants to grow with a business that's going places — we'd love to hear from you.
