About My Client

My client is a fast-growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) with ambitious plans. Unlike many MSPs, they are technically led, not sales-led - founded and run by engineers, not salespeople. Everything is kept in-house, from development to delivery, with a strong focus on providing SMEs with the technical expertise and service they need to thrive.

Since 2021, my client has tripled in size, supporting SMEs from 2-150 users across cloud, networking, security, and infrastructure. They are now expanding their support function and seeking a skilled IT Support Specialist to act as a trusted escalation point and deliver hands-on support and project work to clients.

The Opportunity

This role offers more than a typical MSP service desk position. You will be:

• The go-to escalation point for support issues.

• Hands-on across Microsoft 365, Azure, SonicWall firewalls, Windows Server, and networking.

• Supporting clients both remotely and on-site.

• Gaining exposure to projects such as cloud migrations, site-to-site VPNs, Intune rollouts, and SharePoint builds.

• Working closely with senior engineers and management, with a clear pathway to develop into an L3 Engineer role.

What You'll Do

• Deliver support across a wide range of SME clients.

• Act as first point of escalation for L1/L2 engineers and directly with customers.

• Manage service queues, troubleshooting and resolving issues quickly.

• Support infrastructure projects: Azure compute builds, VPNs, firewall configs, Office 365 migrations.

• Roll out Microsoft Intune, Defender, and SharePoint for end users.

• Build strong relationships with clients, acting as their trusted technical contact.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years' MSP experience in Ireland

• Hands-on expertise in:

  • Microsoft 365 (admin, migrations, troubleshooting).

  • Azure (VMs, VPNs, AD).

  • SonicWall firewalls (config, VPNs, troubleshooting).

  • Windows Server / Entra ID (on-prem + hybrid).

  • Networking (LAN/WAN, VLANs, Wi-Fi, routing).

• Excellent client-facing and communication skills.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced MSP environment.

Nice-to-Haves

• ITIL Foundation v4.

• Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator (AZ-104).

• Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert.

• CompTIA Security+ or CISSP.

• CCNA.

This is an immediate requirement - interviews can be scheduled ASAP.
