Company Profile Total IT is an award-winning technology services and systems integration business founded in 2006, with offices in Bedford, London, and Dubai. We operate at the intersection of IT, cyber security, networks, and smart building technology, supporting some of the largest and most complex commercial buildings in the United Kingdom, alongside a growing portfolio of international clients. Our clients trust us to manage business-critical environments where accuracy, reliability, and professionalism matter. Role Overview The Project Delivery Engineer sits within our Project Management Office (PMO) and is the on-the-ground delivery engine for client projects, deployments, onboardings and onsite support. This is a hands-on, varied role designed for an engineer who enjoys mixing project delivery with direct client interaction. On any given week you might be building and staging devices for a new client onboarding, attending site to install a server cabinet, walking a new starter through their laptop, carrying out a wireless survey, supporting the Service Desk with remote hands at a client site, or representing Total IT at a kick-off meeting. The role blends project delivery, deployments, field service and customer experience — it is not a pure projects-only role, and we are not looking for somebody who wants one. Above all, this is a role for an engineer who takes pride in their workmanship and presentation. Every install we hand over should be tidy, neat and considered — the kind of job where the closing photo could go straight onto our website. Cable management, labelling, finish quality, comms room hygiene and overall presentation are not optional extras; they are part of Total IT’s culture and one of the reasons we win and retain premium clients. You will deliver a white-glove onboarding and installation experience for every client.
