Your New Role and Responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced Standard Operating Environment (SOE) Engineer to play a pivotal role in planning, developing, testing, and deploying a Windows 11 Standard Operating Environment (SOE) across the enterprise. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring a smooth transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11, aligning with organizational security, compliance, and performance standards.

  • Design, build, and maintain the Windows 11 System Optimisation (SOE) image using tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM/SCCM), Microsoft Intune, and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
  • Collaborate with security and infrastructure teams to ensure SOE compliance with organizational policies.
  • Conduct pilot deployments and gather feedback to refine the SOE.
  • Document SOE configurations, deployment procedures, and support guides.
  • Participate in change management and risk assessment processes, ensuring that all changes to the SOE are managed effectively and potential risks are identified and mitigated.

What You'll Bring to Make an Impact

  • Proven experience in SOE engineering and desktop deployment projects.
  • Strong knowledge of Windows 10/11 architecture and deployment methodologies.
  • Proficiency with MECM/SCCM, Intune, PowerShell scripting, and Group Policy.
  • Experience with application packaging and compatibility testing.
  • Familiarity with Active Directory, Azure AD, and enterprise security standards.

Don’t worry if you don’t tick all the boxes – if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application.  We’re most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.
