Senior Systems Engineer - Timaru
Posted Updated
Summary
Senior technical lead at a South Island MSP's Timaru office: owns the technical relationship with local business clients, supports Microsoft environments and client networks, delivers on-site/remote support and projects, and mentors engineers. Core skills are Microsoft and networking; office-based with NZ work rights required.
About the company
Our client is a well-established MSP with about 90 staff across the South Island. They have a strong reputation and a stable client base, and they’ve been around for a long time. The Timaru office is a small team of seven, including engineers, managers and admin. It’s a team where people back each other, work hard and keep the banter going.
The role
You’ll be the senior technical lead for the Timaru client base, splitting your time between the office and client sites. Your clients will trust you, and the wider team will come to you for direction.
If you’re in Auckland or elsewhere and you’ve been thinking about a change of pace, Timaru is worth a look. Housing is more affordable, commutes are short, and the mountains, lakes and coast are on your doorstep. If you’re thinking about relocating, we’d like to hear from you, and we’re happy to talk through the move.
This is an office-based role, Monday to Friday, at the Timaru office. You must have the right to live and work in New Zealand.
