This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Design Desk Engineer based in Spain. Join a technical engineering team responsible for transforming client business needs and technical requirements into reliable, implementation-ready IT solutions. In this fully remote role, you will contribute to solution architecture, technical scoping, proposal development, and detailed project documentation across diverse IT environments. You will work with Microsoft 365, Azure, server infrastructure, virtualization, networking, and security technologies to design solutions that are accurate, feasible, and supportable. You will also use approved AI-assisted tools to improve the speed and quality of engineering deliverables while maintaining responsibility for technical validation. Working closely with stakeholders and technical teams, you will help streamline workflows, strengthen documentation standards, and continuously improve the design process. Accountabilities: You will own design requests from initial review through final documentation, ensuring that proposed solutions meet business objectives, technical standards, and implementation requirements. - Translate client requirements and vCIO strategies into solution architectures and implementation-ready documentation. - Develop technical proposals, Statements of Work (SOWs), workplans, business requirements, desired outcomes, assumptions, exclusions, dependencies, prerequisites, and milestones. - Evaluate proposed solutions for technical accuracy, feasibility, supportability, scope alignment, licensing, risks, labor requirements, and implementation readiness. - Review incoming requests for completeness and identify missing technical or business information before proceeding. - Validate relevant environment details, including users, workstations, mailboxes, servers, locations, and supporting documentation. - Maintain clear ownership of assigned requests, documenting status, schedules, decisions, blockers, next steps, and stakeholder communications.

Requirements: The ideal candidate combines broad IT engineering knowledge with strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills. You should be able to assess technical recommendations critically, identify risks, and deliver clear, supportable designs while working independently in a structured, remote environment. - Knowledge of Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, server infrastructure, virtualization, networking, and security technologies. - Experience or demonstrated capability in solution architecture, technical design, technical scoping, and implementation planning. - Ability to translate client business and technical requirements into proposals, Statements of Work, and implementation workplans.
