About the Role
Our client is looking for an experienced Workplace Engineer to support the technical execution of a large-scale domain and identity migration program in a complex, hybrid IT environment.

In this role, you will be responsible for implementing and validating device, identity, and collaboration platform changes across Microsoft 365, Intune, and hybrid identity platforms. You will work closely with architects, project managers, and external partners to ensure technical readiness, stability, and compliance throughout the migration lifecycle.

This role requires strong hands-on experience with endpoint management, authentication flows, and troubleshooting in enterprise-scale environments. Candidates without prior large-scale migration experience are unlikely to ramp up quickly.

Tasks & Responsibilities
1. Technical Execution of Domain & Identity Migration

• Implement technical tasks required for domain cutover (e.g., domain join updates, policy transitions, MDM/MAM targeting, identity agent configuration).
• Support identity and authentication changes, including:
  • Domain alignment and hybrid directory integration
  • Federation and authentication protocol updates (e.g., SAML/OAuth)
  • Conditional Access readiness
  • Service account and certificate transitions
• Validate domain readiness through hands-on testing of devices, applications, user profiles, authentication flows, and access policies across hybrid environments.

2. Device Management & Endpoint Configuration
Configure, deploy, validate, and provide technical oversight for:

• Device configuration and compliance policies
• Application deployments (packaged and web-based)
• Security baselines, custom profiles, and configuration scripts
• Support site-level device readiness, including:
  • Peripheral driver mapping
  • Network-dependent device configuration
  • Imaging preparation and validation
• Provide quality control over execution performed by external service providers where applicable.

3. Modern Workplace Workload Engineering
Execute configuration changes tied to:

• Mailbox preparation, DNS updates, and routing changes
• Collaboration platform configuration and policy validation
• OneDrive configuration and migration readiness
• SharePoint site configuration and permission alignment
• Support cross-tenant migration tooling execution under architectural governance.

4. Application Remediation Technical Support
Partner with project management and architecture teams to:

• Validate technical remediation steps for applications
• Perform authentication updates, certificate changes, and endpoint configuration updates
• Conduct functional testing with application owners
• Document remediation evidence and verify readiness criteria
• Support internal and external teams by providing logs, traces, debugging insights, and environment-level analysis.

5. Troubleshooting & Issue Resolution
Perform hands-on troubleshooting across:

• Identity and authentication flows
• Device compliance and policy conflicts
• Autopilot deployment failures
• Collaboration platform configuration inconsistencies
• Conditional Access blockages
• Provide structured root-cause analysis to unblock remediation and migration waves.

6. Documentation & Quality Control
Maintain detailed engineering documentation for:

• Device policies and assignments
• Deployment processes and device inventories
• Collaboration and messaging configuration updates
• Cutover scripts, runbooks, and validation checklists
• Ensure all changes adhere to governance, security requirements, and architectural standards.

7. Collaboration & Communication

• Work closely with identity, infrastructure, and workplace architects to align sequencing, technical dependencies, and readiness milestones.
• Collaborate with partner teams responsible for execution support and delivery scaling.
• Communicate technical progress, risks, and blockers clearly and proactively.

Your Profile

1. Technical Skills

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with:
  • Microsoft Intune, Autopilot, and Windows lifecycle management
  • Azure AD / Entra ID in hybrid identity environments
  • Office 365 workloads (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams)
  • PowerShell for automation and administration
• Strong troubleshooting experience across authentication, device compliance, deployment failures, and access control issues.
• Solid understanding of application identity dependencies and domain-related technical impacts.

2. Project Delivery Alignment

• Experience supporting large-scale migration programs such as:
  • Domain consolidations
  • Tenant-to-tenant migrations
  • Enterprise endpoint modernization initiatives
• Ability to translate architectural guidance into concrete engineering actions.
• Experience coordinating with external service providers supporting execution at scale.

3. Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and root-cause analysis capability.
• Structured and thorough approach to testing and documentation.
• Clear communicator able to explain technical topics to project stakeholders.

4. Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting organizational transitions or large-scale tenant consolidations.
• Experience with endpoint analytics, telemetry platforms, or automation via APIs and scripting.
• Understanding of corporate networking, DNS, certificate management, and device-to-cloud connectivity dependencies.
