Technical Implementation Consultant

About the role

As a Senior Technical Consultant, you will deliver business-critical CCH software installations, upgrades and server migrations within customer-managed IT environments.

This is a hands-on technical role suited to someone with strong Microsoft SQL Server, T-SQL and Windows infrastructure experience who enjoys solving complex technical challenges.

You will work directly with customers to ensure successful project delivery, minimise operational risk and provide expert technical guidance throughout implementation and migration activities.

While experience with CCH products is beneficial, it is not essential. We are looking for strong technical problem solvers with the ability to learn new technologies quickly.

The role includes planned evening and occasional weekend work to support customer deployments outside of core business hours.

• Support and diagnose issues within Citrix, Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Azure Virtual Desktop environments.
• Analyse Windows, application and SQL Server logs to identify root causes.
• Use PowerShell and other automation tools to support delivery and troubleshooting activities.
• Work directly with customer IT teams and third-party providers to resolve technical issues.
• Ensure appropriate recovery and rollback procedures are in place for all business-critical work.
• Produce clear technical documentation and handover materials.
• Contribute to process improvements, automation initiatives and knowledge sharing.

• Strong customer-facing communication skills.
• Flexibility to support agreed evening and weekend work requirements.

Desirable Skills & Experience

• C# and .NET development or code-review experience.
• Software development background.
• Experience diagnosing application issues through source code, logs and database analysis.
• Advanced SQL Server performance tuning and administration.
• Experience developing automation or diagnostic tooling.
• Knowledge of Wolters Kluwer CCH products or similar professional services software.
