Technical Lead, M365 Tenant Consolidation & Cloud Migration
Location: Peterborough, Hybrid
Contract: 3-year fixed term
Salary: Competitive + benefits

A leading UK education group is embarking on one of the largest Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant consolidation projects in the sector – migrating dozens of separate school environments into a single, secure, high-performing M365 tenancy. We’re looking for an experienced Strategic Engineering Lead to take ownership of the technical architecture, design, and delivery of this multi-year programme, working closely with a top-tier Microsoft partner and internal stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Act as the principal technical authority for the Trust-wide M365 single tenancy migration programme.

Lead the design, implementation, and optimisation of the new central M365 environment, ensuring security, compliance, and performance best practice.

Oversee migration execution in partnership with an outsourced delivery team, managing risks and ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.

Provide hands-on leadership to the IT Engineering Team, covering Azure, server, desktop, mobile, telecoms, and network infrastructure.

Collaborate with senior stakeholders and the programme board, providing regular technical progress reports and risk assessments.

Ensure operational excellence in BAU services while delivering the transformation programme.

Key Requirements

Proven track record leading large-scale M365 tenant-to-tenant migrations and consolidations.

Expert knowledge of Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure, Teams, and Windows server/client environments.

Strong understanding of enterprise-scale security and compliance frameworks.

Experience overseeing hybrid cloud and on-prem infrastructure, virtualised environments, and complex networks.

Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly.

Leadership experience in managing and developing high-performing technical teams.

This is a high-profile role with significant impact on the Trust’s future IT landscape. You’ll be shaping the architecture and leading delivery for a migration that will improve operational efficiency, enhance collaboration, and unlock long-term value for thousands of staff and students.

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.
