IT Support Engineer – 1st Line or 2nd Line

Lancaster, Lancashire

£27K - £32K

Melbreck are working with an IT support business based in Lancaster that offers an excellent working environment and team focus that are second to none!

There is a fantastic opportunity to make working with this team your reality now, as they are looking for someone to join their team as a Technical Support Engineer / IT Support Engineer. They will consider someone joining them as either a first line support engineer, or a second line support engineer

They are very different from your average IT support firm. They are a busy, fast-paced team where all the team gains exposure to new technologies.

They are focused on what their customers need and best fit, rather than what costs the most, or is the most state-of-the-art for the sake of it. Customer need is everything.

IT Support Engineer – Role Overview:

Working as a 1st line or 2nd line support engineer (depending on your experience and preference), handling complex technical issues, performing root cause analysis, providing remote support, and working with level one technicians to resolve escalated issues.

IT Support Engineer – Candidate Requirements:

Please note that this role requires someone with a driving license and a car so that they can undertake client visits across the country when needed.

The role of IT Support Engineer / Technical Support Engineer requires someone with a good level of experience and knowledge around technical support / IT support for external customers – combined with excellent customer service skills.

The role requires someone with experience of at least 2-3 years in an external customer IT support role - either first line support or second line support, in a helpdesk role. Someone who has worked for an MSP would be ideal; however, this is not essential.

The IT Support Engineer role requires someone who can already fulfil some of the below daily in the role, working independently:

  • Minimum mid-level experience in a technical support / IT support position (2-3 years +)

  • Experience in a helpdesk environment or within an IT support environment where a proper, documented process for dealing with customer issues is followed (tickets etc.)

  • Experience of working with external customers, with a customer-centric focus

  • Experience of Windows desktop up to 11 (need to be able to work independently on this)

  • Office 365 deployment and management

    Other experiences:

    In addition, the role requires someone who has at least some experience of any (not necessarily all) of the following, with the ability to learn and use them regularly with only occasional need for advice/support:

  • Windows servers up to 2022 – including services such as AD, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, RDS, SQL and Exchange

  • Virtualisation via ESXI or Hyper-V

  • Wireless technologies – from single access point to fully managed Ubiquiti, Meraki, or Aruba

  • Network technologies and fundamentals – routings, VLAN’s, VPN’s, (SSL & IPSec), L2 & L3 technologies and fundamentals, switches, routers, firewall

  • Disaster recovery and best practice for backups – including cloud-based solutions as well as Veeam, Backup Assist and Backup Exec

  • Firewalls – Stateless, Stateful, NGFW (UTM) – FortiNet

  • 2FA Technologies – Microsoft, DUO

  • Spam Filters/Anti Spoofing Services

    Who are we looking for?

    As well as having a good technical / experience fit for an IT support Engineer role, as a team fit, we are looking for someone who:

  • has a ‘can-do’ attitude.

  • can communicate around technical issues in plain English with customers – e.g., not using technical jargon.

  • is customer focused.

  • can work in a small team, and who will involve themselves in what needs doing, when it needs to be done.

  • can integrate well with others.

    Please note: this role will occasionally involve some travelling across the UK to customer sites (historically around once a month) and so needs someone who can both commit to this time away at short notice, and who can drive when necessary to client sites around the country.

    If you feel that you have the right mix of experience, knowledge, and attitude as that which is listed above, and you want to work for a fantastic, close-knit team in Lancaster that cares about you and your development, then apply now!

    We look forward to hearing from you

Data engineering is at the heart of the digital economy, transforming raw data into actionable insights, powering analytics, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure. As the UK and global markets continue to invest heavily in data platforms, pipelines, and real-time analytics, demand for skilled data engineers is growing rapidly. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk , the critical question is: which companies are expanding, hiring, and shaping the future of data-driven business? This article highlights new data engineering employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, scale-ups, and international firms expanding in the UK.

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.

If you’re applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, the first thing to understand is this: Hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it. They look for signals of relevance, credibility, delivery and collaboration — and if they don’t see the right signals quickly, your application may never get a second look. In data engineering, hiring managers are especially focused on whether you can build and operate reliable, scalable data systems, handle real-world data challenges and work effectively with analytics, BI, data science and engineering teams. This guide breaks down exactly what they look at first in your application — and how to shape your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out.
