Platform Specialist

.

I am working with a company in the public sector to find a Platform Specialist to join their dynamic IT team. Your responsibilities will include system design, technical documentation, task automation, and leading medium to large-scale IT projects.

Your day to day will be varied but you will be:

• Providing subject matter expertise in Office 365, emphasizing migration and support.
• Supporting legacy Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange environments in a hybrid enterprise setup.
• Leading the technical implementation of SharePoint & Power Platform solutions.
• Automating routine tasks using PowerShell and Azure-based DevOps tools.
• Delivering administrative support to service users across Office 365, SharePoint, MS Teams, and Power Applications.

To be successful in this position you will have:

• In-depth expertise in Microsoft Office 365, Exchange Online, Azure AD, SharePoint, MS Teams, and Power Tools deployment.
• Proficiency in advanced scripting (especially PowerShell) and automation.
• Management and administration of enterprise-level Azure tenancy.
• Strong project management skills, including experience with methodologies like Prince 2.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Familiarity with IT industry standards such as ITIL, ISO, and Prince 2.

My client is offering a competitive salary of up to £68,000 for this position, alongside an excellent benefits package. This includes access to a comprehensive health and wellbeing programme, as well as supported learning and development opportunities. And, while initially a 12-month fixed-term contract, there is potential for the role to transition into a permanent position for the right candidate. The role offers a hybrid working arrangement, with a base in my client's London office.
