Hardware Production Support Engineer - Scunthorpe 

Manchester | Office-based

Are you a technically strong 2nd Line IT Support Engineer looking for a role where you'll have genuine ownership of technical issues and play an active part in infrastructure change?

We're looking for an experienced 2nd Line IT Support Engineer to join an established IT team supporting approximately 500 employees across a national branch network.

This is a hands-on technical role and you'll become the primary escalation point for the 1st Line team, while working alongside an existing 2nd Line Technician on infrastructure support and change projects.

We're looking for someone who can combine strong engineering ability with excellent customer service - someone who can investigate root causes, understand the wider impact of an issue and implement solutions properly.

The Role

As a 2nd Line IT Support Engineer, you'll be responsible for:

• Acting as the primary technical escalation point for 1st Line IT Support.
• Diagnosing and resolving complex 2nd Line infrastructure and end-user issues.
• Supporting and administering Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online.
• Providing VMware VDI support across a branch estate supporting approximately 240 users.
• Supporting and managing network infrastructure, including firewalls and switches.
• Working with Palo Alto perimeter security and Juniper networking technologies.
• Supporting the wider Microsoft-first infrastructure environment.
• Working with technologies including Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID and NinjaOne.
• Supporting backup and infrastructure technologies, including Veeam.
• Investigating recurring issues and identifying root causes rather than relying on temporary fixes.
• Working alongside the existing 2nd Line Technician to provide effective technical support.
• Participating in infrastructure projects and technology improvements.
• Working within formal change-control processes.
• Maintaining accurate technical documentation.
• Supporting the ongoing IT transformation programme.
• Ensuring solutions are implemented securely and in line with organisational policies.

The Technical Environment

You'll be working across a modern Microsoft-first infrastructure, including:

Microsoft 365 | Exchange Online | Entra ID | Intune | Autopilot | NinjaOne | VMware VDI | Palo Alto | Juniper | Veeam | Keeper

The branch VDI environment currently supports approximately 240 users, while the wider organisation has around 500 employees.

This is therefore an excellent opportunity for someone who wants exposure to a broad infrastructure environment rather than a narrow desktop-support position.

About You

We're looking for a technically capable 2nd Line Engineer who enjoys getting to the bottom of difficult problems.

You should have demonstrable hands-on experience in areas such as:

• Microsoft 365 administration.
• Exchange Online.
• Entra ID / Active Directory.
• Intune and device management.
• Windows infrastructure and desktop support.
• VMware / VDI environments.
• Networking and troubleshooting.
• Firewall and switch administration.
• Backup technologies.
• Infrastructure troubleshooting and problem management.

Experience with Palo Alto, Juniper, Veeam, NinjaOne and Autopilot would be highly advantageous.

You don't need to be an expert in every technology listed, but you must be able to demonstrate genuine hands-on technical depth in the relevant areas.

Customer Service Matters

Technical ability is only half of the role.

We're looking for someone who understands that IT support is ultimately a service function.

You should be:

• Calm and composed under pressure.
• Approachable and professional.
• Comfortable supporting non-technical users.
• Able to explain complex technical issues clearly.
• Patient and solutions-focused.
• Someone who takes ownership rather than simply passing problems on.
• Committed to resolving issues properly and preventing them from recurring.

Think Apple Genius Bar standards of customer care, combined with the technical ability of an infrastructure engineer.

Desirable

• ITIL knowledge or certification.
• Familiarity with ISO 27001.
• Previous experience working within a regulated environment.
• Strong understanding of incident, problem and change management.
• Experience working within formal change-control processes.
• Experience contributing to infrastructure transformation projects.

The Environment

The organisation operates within a regulated environment, so security, documentation and change discipline are important parts of the role.

You'll be based in Manchester, working alongside an established IT team and an existing 2nd Line Technician.

The Recruitment Process

We take technical competence seriously.

The recruitment process includes a practical technical assessment, giving candidates the opportunity to demonstrate how they actually approach technical problems.

We aren't looking for people who simply interview well.

We want to see how you work.

Candidates will be assessed on both technical capability and their approach to service and problem resolution.

What We're Looking For

Non-negotiables include:

• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Proven 2nd Line technical competence.
• Strong customer service skills, supported by concrete examples or references.
• A stable and explainable employment history.
• Experience working within structured processes.
• A strong information-security mindset.
• The ability to work within controlled change processes.
• A genuine approach to diagnosing and resolving technical problems.

If you're a strong 2nd Line IT Support Engineer who wants to work across Microsoft 365, infrastructure, networking and VDI while playing a key role in an organisation's IT transformation, we'd like to hear from you.

• Challenging existing approaches and helping shape the overall AI architecture
• Identifying new opportunities to automate and improve operational processes

About You

We're looking for someone who has genuine commercial experience building AI solutions, rather than someone who has simply experimented with ChatGPT or integrated an LLM API.

You may have a background as an AI Engineer, Generative AI Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Software Engineer or AI Solutions Engineer, but you will have developed a strong practical understanding of modern Agentic AI.

You should have experience with several of the following:

• Agentic AI / AI Agents
• LLM application development
• OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or similar
• LLM orchestration and tool/function calling
• RAG and retrieval-based AI
• Vector databases and embeddings
• AI workflow automation
• Python, C# and/or TypeScript
• APIs and system integration
• SQL/databases
• Cloud platforms, particularly Azure
• Frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen or similar

Most importantly, you will be someone who understands how to turn AI capabilities into robust, commercially useful software.

The Person

This role will suit someone who enjoys working with a high degree of autonomy and wants to make a genuine impact.

You'll be expected to bring your own ideas, challenge thinking and work collaboratively with an established technical team. You won't be joining a large AI department with everything already defined – you'll have the opportunity to help build the AI capability from the ground up.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Technically strong and hands-on
• Commercially minded and focused on solving real problems
• Naturally curious about emerging AI technologies
• Comfortable challenging and influencing other technical specialists
• Able to work independently without a large team around them
• Pragmatic rather than focused on technology for technology's sake
• Comfortable operating in an environment where priorities and technology are evolving

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to join a business that is building AI into its technology strategy from the outset, rather than retrofitting AI onto legacy systems.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Own and influence the company's Agentic AI capability
• Work with experienced software and data professionals
• Build production AI solutions rather than proof-of-concepts
• Work with significant volumes of real-world property and operational data
• Influence technology and architecture decisions
• Help determine how AI is used across the organisation
• Develop solutions with genuine commercial impact

If you're an AI Engineer who wants to build, experiment, challenge the status quo and help shape an AI-first technology platform, we'd like to hear from you.

This is an influential position combining technical leadership, platform ownership and line management. You’ll modernise the organisation’s data capabilities, introduce scalable batch and real-time processing, and eliminate manual or fragile processes through intelligent automation.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced Data Engineer or Data Engineering Lead who has built and operated complete data platforms—not simply individual components.

You’ll combine strong technical knowledge with the confidence to make architectural decisions, lead change and determine when existing technology should be evolved or replaced.

Your experience should include:

• Batch processing, data warehousing, ELT and orchestration.
• Modern streaming technologies such as Flink or comparable platforms.
• Production AWS data engineering.
• AWS services including S3, Lambda, Glue, Athena, Kinesis, RDS, IAM and CloudWatch.

• Medallion-style data layering and dimensional modelling.
• Strong SQL and Python development skills.
• Infrastructure as code using Terraform.
• CI/CD, automated testing and modern engineering practices.
• SQL Server, SSIS/SSDT and Power BI.
• Semantic models, shared metrics and data glossaries.
• Data governance, retention, lineage, classification and auditability.
• Managing, mentoring or developing Data Engineers.

You should also be comfortable using advanced AI coding assistants, such as Claude Code or equivalent tools, to accelerate development across code, infrastructure, testing and documentation while maintaining appropriate quality and security controls.

Desirable experience

• Financial services or another regulated environment.
• PySpark for large-scale batch or streaming transformations.
• Migrating SQL Server and SSIS estates to lakehouse or metadata-driven architectures.
• Customer Data Platforms or event-driven systems.
• Data-quality tools such as dbt tests or Great Expectations.
• MCP servers or governed natural-language data interfaces.
• Financial crime, fraud or regulatory-reporting data.
• Power BI administration and semantic modelling.

Why apply?

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a business-critical data platform and shape how data and AI are used across an organisation.

You’ll have the freedom to introduce modern technologies, develop a talented engineering team and build a platform capable of supporting future analytics, AI products and strategic decision-making.
