We are looking for an experienced SharePoint Administrator to support an established Microsoft 365 environment and assist with ongoing SharePoint projects.
This is a hands-on position for someone who already has practical experience administering SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365. You should be comfortable managing day-to-day administration, resolving issues and making configuration changes without needing extensive training.
You will work alongside the project team, taking responsibility for assigned tasks and ensuring they are completed properly and on time.
Key Responsibilities
Administer and maintain SharePoint Online sites and environments
Manage SharePoint sites, Lists, Libraries, permissions and access
Configure SharePoint settings and site functionality
Manage users, groups and permissions
Support document management and SharePoint structures
Investigate and resolve SharePoint issues
Troubleshoot access, permissions and configuration problems
Support SharePoint migrations, restructures and improvements
Assist with Microsoft 365 administration where required
Work with other Microsoft 365 applications where they integrate with SharePoint

Good knowledge of SharePoint Lists and Libraries
Experience managing SharePoint permissions and user access
Strong troubleshooting skills
Good understanding of SharePoint site structure and configuration
Experience supporting users and resolving technical issues

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone who has worked with SharePoint administration in a professional environment and can get up to speed quickly.
Working Style
You should be comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your work.
We will provide the requirements and expected outcome, but you will be expected to work out the appropriate way to deliver the task rather than requiring detailed instructions for every step.
The right person will be:
Reliable and organised
Practical and technically minded
Comfortable investigating problems
Able to prioritise their workload
Good at communicating progress and raising issues
