• Deliver office-based technical support to customers via phone and email, with occasional out-of-hours support (evenings/weekends) by prior arrangement.
• Travel within the UK and overseas to deliver, commission, upgrade, diagnose and rectify issues on systems originally built in Malvern, covering technologies such as Microsoft products, Linux distributions, Active Directory, certificates, networking, storage solutions and virtualisation.
• Maintain and manage locally held replicas of customer systems for troubleshooting and upgrade testing.
• Provide technical representation and input at programme Gate reviews, Engineering Review Boards, Design Reviews and proposals, supporting both Programme Management and Business Development.

• Build deep, hands-on experience across a wide range of technologies: Microsoft and Linux platforms, networking, storage, virtualisation, Active Directory, certificates and more.
• Learn how complex, secure multi-server, multi-client systems are built, tested, deployed and sustained throughout their lifecycle.
• Gain exposure to customer environments in the UK and overseas, understanding how systems are used operationally and how to support them effectively.
• Develop your skills in system testing (Integration, FAT, SAT), troubleshooting and root cause analysis on live systems.
• Strengthen your communication, stakeholder management and customer-facing skills through direct engagement with internal teams and external customers.

What We Offer

• A varied, hands-on role working across the full lifecycle of complex IT systems: build, test, deployment, sustainment and upgrade.
• The opportunity to work closely with UK and international customers, combining technical depth with real-world impact.
