Are you a Windows Engineer who enjoys delivering and supporting IT projects for high profile clients? Do you want to be part of a busy team supporting critical government projects?

We are working with a well-known consultancy looking to engage a Windows Engineer to join their team.

The role:

You will be overseeing the full project lifecycle of Wintel-focused initiatives - from planning through to implementation. You'll work with internal teams and external stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered effectively, on time, and within scope. In addition to providing hands-on technical insight and supporting strategic decisions around infrastructure deployment and maintenance, the work will also include project coordination.

What you'll be doing:

  • Taking ownership of Wintel-related projects, ensuring structured delivery and successful outcomes
  • Coordinating timelines, resources, and deliverables while managing risk and dependencies
  • Working across server and workstation infrastructure, guiding implementations and upgrades
  • Liaising with vendors and internal technical teams to design and roll out solutions
  • Supporting documentation, technical standards, and disaster recovery preparedness
  • Keeping compliance and security front-of-mind in every phase of delivery
  • Acting as a key point of contact for stakeholder communication and alignment

I am therefore keen to speak with candidates who have

  • Proven background in managing projects within Microsoft Windows Server environments
  • Strong technical understanding of Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, and PKI
  • Experience with virtualisation platforms such as VMware/ESXi or Hyper-V
  • Working knowledge of cloud ecosystems, ideally Azure or AWS
  • Confident diagnosing and troubleshooting infrastructure-level issues
  • A practical approach to root cause analysis and long-term resolution planning
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and documentation capabilities
  • Familiarity with disaster recovery planning and business continuity support

Due to the nature of the end client and urgency of the role, we are looking for candidates who hold sole British Nationality and have active Security Clearance (SC) ideally.
