2nd/3rd Line Engineer (Migrations & Generalist Support) at Coreitech, United Kingdom, Ad Hoc, £Contractor Rate (Outside IR35)

Engagement type: Ad-hoc contract work via your own Limited Company

Location: Fully remote

About the work

Coreitech is an IT services provider supporting SMEs across a range of sectors. We’re looking for an experienced 2nd/3rd line generalist to take on migration projects and escalation work on an as-needed basis. Work is sporadic and project-led – it picks up when we onboard a new client or run a migration, and goes quiet in between – so this suits someone running their own consultancy or juggling other clients. All work is delivered remotely.

Typical pieces of work

• Email migrations – Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, IMAP/POP to Exchange Online, tenant-to-tenant, on-prem Exchange to cloud
• Data migrations – file servers to SharePoint/OneDrive, Google Drive to M365, Dropbox and other cloud storage moves
• Pre-migration discovery, planning and cutover scheduling with minimal client disruption
• Post-migration clean-up – mail flow, DNS (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC), permissions and shared mailboxes
• Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administration
• Windows Server, Active Directory and hybrid environment work
• Escalations from the 1st line team that need a deeper fix
• Client onboarding and offboarding projects
• Documentation and handover notes for each piece of work

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience delivering email and data migrations end to end, including the planning and the awkward edge cases
• Comfortable with migration tooling (BitTitan MigrationWiz, SharePoint Migration Tool, ShareGate, native Microsoft tools or similar)
• Solid Microsoft 365, Exchange Online and SharePoint administration skills
• Good understanding of DNS and mail flow
• Broad generalist background – happy switching between desktop, server and cloud issues in the same day
• Able to communicate clearly with non-technical client staff during a cutover, over calls and remote sessions
• Experienced with remote support tooling (RMM, remote access tools)
• MSP or multi-client experience preferred
• Microsoft certifications (MS-102, MD-102 or similar) desirable

How the engagement works

• Engaged per project or task under a contract for services, with a defined scope and deliverables
• You control how and when the work is done, within agreed cutover dates and deadlines
• You supply your own equipment and are free to work for other clients
• Right of substitution applies
• Limited Company and appropriate insurances (professional indemnity, public liability) required
