IT Field Engineer – School ICT Support

Many IT engineers supporting schools end up covering huge areas and constantly firefighting issues across dozens of sites.

This role offers something different.

You’ll work with the same group of schools across the Hull and surrounding area, getting to know their systems, building relationships with staff, and helping keep their IT running smoothly.

You’ll be working with the same schools regularly, so you’re not constantly travelling to new sites or walking into unfamiliar environments. You’ll also be backed by a dedicated service desk team and joining a specialist education IT provider that has supported schools for over 20 years.

This is a field-based role supporting primary and secondary schools across the Hull and surrounding area. It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys working directly with people, solving problems face to face and being trusted to manage their own day.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Providing regular on-site IT support across multiple school locations.
  • Responding to issues with devices, networks, AV equipment and classroom technology.
  • Installing and configuring hardware, software and systems.
  • Supporting Windows 11, Office 365, Windows Server and networking equipment.
  • Collaborating with the service desk to keep tickets moving and ensure quick resolutions.
  • Offering friendly, jargon-free support to teaching and administrative staff.
What we’re looking for:
  • Previous or current experience providing IT support in a school or education setting.
  • A friendly, calm approach with strong communication skills.
  • Solid technical knowledge across Windows, Office 365 and networking.
  • Confidence supporting AV equipment and classroom devices.
  • Someone happy to travel between school sites as part of their role.
  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
What’s on offer:
  • Starting salary between £28,000 and £32,000 depending on experience.
  • £3,000 annual car allowance.
  • All business mileage and expenses paid.
  • 24 days holiday plus bank holidays.
  • Your birthday off, fully paid.
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Perkbox employee rewards platform.
  • Funded training and ongoing development.
  • Regular performance reviews with linked salary progression.
  • Supportive, friendly team with regular socials.

This is a great opportunity to join a business that understands how important IT is to schools and how valuable great engineers are to keeping things running.

If you’ve got education sector experience, enjoy variety in your day and want to be part of a company that values your work, we’d love to hear from you.
