Why you’ll love this role of IT Hardware Engineer
This is a hands-on role at the heart of our End User Services team, helping make sure our UK colleagues have the technology they need to do their best work.
Based from our Leeds office, you’ll take ownership of hardware throughout its lifecycle, from preparing and deploying new laptops and devices through to troubleshooting, stock management, refresh, redeployment and disposal.
It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys technology but equally enjoys working with people. You don’t need to be a deep technical specialist. We’re looking for someone with good practical IT knowledge who takes ownership, communicates confidently and is keen to learn.
You’ll join an experienced team where you’ll have the opportunity to build your knowledge, contribute ideas and make a visible difference to the service we provide to colleagues across Civica.

- Prepare, pre-provision, deploy, refresh, redeploy and decommission end-user devices
- Support device deployment using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot
- Troubleshoot routine hardware, deployment and device enrolment issues
- Use Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for relevant device and compliance checks
- Maintain accurate hardware asset, stock and inventory records
- Coordinate purchasing, deliveries, returns, repairs, reuse and disposal of equipment
- Carry out hands-on device preparation, checks, wiping and stock management from our Leeds office

A little more about the role
This is an operational hardware and device-delivery position rather than an endpoint engineering role. You’ll use tools including Intune, Autopilot and Entra ID to prepare devices and resolve routine deployment and enrolment issues, working alongside our specialist Modern Workplace and Security teams where deeper platform, policy or security expertise is required.
The role is based in our Leeds office five days a week due to the hands-on nature of preparing, managing and distributing physical IT equipment. Working hours can offer some flexibility around standard office hours.
