Senior Escalations Engineer

Solve the problems nobody else can — own the complex escalations, the intermittent faults and the tickets that need a different level of thinking.

Full-time · PermanentNottingham (office-based, with occasional planned site visits)£35,000 – £45,000 per year

We're looking for a Senior Escalations Engineer to join the team in a role built around one thing: solving the problems nobody else can. The majority of your work is remote and desk-based — taking ownership of the complex escalations, the tricky intermittent faults, and the tickets that need a different level of thinking.

Alongside that, you'll carry out a small number of planned maintenance visits to client sites. These aren't emergency call-outs — they're structured visits that keep you close to our clients' environments and mean clients have a face they know and trust. It's about 10% of the role, but it matters.

If you want to manage infrastructure all day or stay firmly behind a screen, this probably isn't for you. If you want deep technical problem-solving, real client relationships, and a role where your ability genuinely gets noticed — keep reading.

What you'll be doing

  • Acting as the senior escalation point for complex support tickets across our client base
  • Diagnosing and resolving advanced technical issues remotely, with a focus on root cause rather than quick fixes
  • Owning escalated tickets through to resolution, keeping clients informed clearly and professionally throughout
  • Mentoring and coaching engineers on the team — helping them build confidence and technical depth
  • Creating and improving technical documentation and knowledge articles to reduce recurring issues
  • Contributing to project delivery including migrations, rollouts, and technical improvements
  • Carrying out planned maintenance visits to client sites (approximately 10% of the role) — keeping environments healthy and relationships strong
  • Using site visits to build familiarity with client setups and proactively spot issues before they become tickets

What we're looking for

  • At least 3 years' experience in a customer-facing MSP support role
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with a logical, structured, and methodical approach
  • Experience handling technical escalations across varied client environments
  • Solid knowledge of Windows devices and end-user support at a senior level
  • Strong Microsoft 365 skills including Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, and user administration
  • Good working knowledge of Active Directory and Group Policy
  • Solid networking fundamentals — DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, WiFi
  • Azure experience including identity management, Entra, and cloud troubleshooting
  • Excellent communication skills — clear, calm, and confident with customers at all levels, remotely and in person
  • The ability to manage your own time and workload effectively, working autonomously
  • Comfortable with occasional planned site visits for maintenance and client relationships
  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle with business travel insurance

Nice to have, not essential

  • Experience with RMM and PSA tools within an MSP
  • Exposure to server environments and virtualisation
  • Firewall, switch, or access point configuration experience
  • Experience supporting or leading migrations, office setups, or technical projects
  • Security awareness and experience with security-focused tooling

What we offer

We invest heavily in our people — development is built into how we work, and progression is real for people who want it.

Development & recognition

  • Weekly training sessions
  • Paid professional exams
  • Quarterly performance-related pay
  • EMI share scheme via Vestd
