The opportunity: I'm working with a growing MSP that's built an excellent reputation within the education sector, partnering with schools and Multi-Academy Trusts to design, deliver and support modern, secure IT environments. As they continue to invest in their Solutions team, they're looking for a Solutions Consultant who enjoys working with customers to understand their challenges and design infrastructure and cloud solutions that are technically robust, commercially viable and deliver genuine business value.

Day to day You'll run technical discovery workshops with customers, taking the time to understand both their technical estate and wider business objectives before designing tailored infrastructure and cloud solutions. Working alongside the Sales team, you'll produce high-quality proposals, Statements of Work and supporting technical documentation, ensuring every solution is commercially viable and ready for successful delivery. You'll present your recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, building trusted relationships with IT teams, school leadership and senior decision-makers.

Your background could come from an MSP, public sector or another complex enterprise environment where you've been responsible for designing and recommending infrastructure solutions. You'll be confident leading customer meetings, gathering requirements and translating business needs into practical technical solutions, while building credibility with both technical teams and senior stakeholders. Technically, we're looking for experience across a broad Microsoft infrastructure stack including Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Active Directory, Entra ID, VMware or Hyper-V, alongside networking technologies such as HPE Aruba or Cisco. Experience with Google Workspace, Intune, SCCM, SAN/NAS storage, backup technologies such as Redstor and producing Statements of Work or technical proposals would also be beneficial.

Solutions Consultant (MSP) Base Salary: £55,000 - £60,000 Benefits: 24 days holiday + bank holidays, birthday off, additional Christmas shutdown day, free parking + more Location: Pendlebury, Manchester (3 days a week in the office) Travel: Occasional travel to customer sites across the UK. The opportunity: I'm working with a growing MSP that's built an excellent reputation within the education sector, partnering with schools and Multi-Academy Trusts to design, deliver and support modern, secure IT environments. As they continue to invest in their Solutions team, they're looking for a Solutions Consultant who enjoys working with customers to understand their challenges and design infrastructure and cloud solutions that are technically robust, commercially viable and deliver genuine business value. Working closely with Sales and Professional Services, you'll take ownership of the presales process from discovery through to solution design, helping customers with projects ranging from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace migrations to networking, virtualisation, identity, security, backup and wider digital transformation initiatives. Day to day You'll run technical discovery workshops with customers, taking the time to understand both their technical estate and wider business objectives before designing tailored infrastructure and cloud solutions. Working alongside the Sales team, you'll produce high-quality proposals, Statements of Work and supporting technical documentation, ensuring every solution is commercially viable and ready for successful delivery. You'll present your recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, building trusted relationships with IT teams, school leadership and senior decision-makers. Once projects are agreed, you'll work closely with the implementation team to ensure a smooth handover and successful delivery. Who we are looking for We're looking for someone with strong infrastructure knowledge who enjoys solving customer problems and communicating technical solutions in a clear, commercial way. You may already be working as a Solutions Consultant or Presales Engineer, or perhaps you're a Senior Infrastructure Engineer or Professional Services Consultant who's regularly involved in solution design and wants to move into a dedicated presales position. Your background could come from an MSP, public sector or another complex enterprise environment where you've been responsible for designing and recommending infrastructure solutions. You'll be confident leading customer meetings, gathering requirements and translating business needs into practical technical solutions, while building credibility with both technical teams and senior stakeholders. Technically, we're looking for experience across a broad Microsoft infrastructure stack including Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Active Directory, Entra ID, VMware or Hyper-V, alongside networking technologies such as HPE Aruba or Cisco. Experience with Google Workspace, Intune, SCCM, SAN/NAS storage, backup technologies such as Redstor and producing Statements of Work or technical proposals would also be beneficial. The Next Steps If you're looking for an opportunity to join a growing MSP where you'll influence solution design, work on varied infrastructure and cloud projects, and become a trusted technical advisor to customers across the education sector, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply today or get in touch with Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential conversation. Even if this role isn't quite right, I'd be happy to talk through other opportunities across the MSP market.
