The Role
As an IT Service Lead Engineer, you will operate as the senior technical authority for a key customer, effectively acting as their internal IT Manager.

This is a highly customer facing role where you will influence senior stakeholders, attend strategy and board level meetings, and shape long term technology direction. You retain ownership of SLA performance, key escalations, and driving ongoing service improvement.
This is a role for someone who combines technical depth with leadership presence and commercial awareness.

It is a fantastic chance to build strong client relationships, gain exposure to diverse environments, and make a real impact on an international scale.

Maintain high quality documentation, support reporting, coach users where needed, and drive ongoing service and efficiency improvements.
