IT engineers support people with their computer systems and equipment. They’re also known as computer or IT service engineers and repair technicians. Take a look at what the role includes and how you could get a job in the area.
As you gain experience, you could become a senior technician, supervisor or manager or become a specialist in a certain area.
With further training, you could move into a different field such as IT security, technical sales, database admin or network engineering.
Many IT engineers choose to be self-employed, work on a contractual basis or set up their own local service businesses.
You’ll learn a lot on the job and depending on who you work for, you might get training opportunities from your employer.
Several IT organisations provide accredited training courses, such as Microsoft and Cisco. These help you develop higher-level skills and build on specialist areas. Professional bodies like the Chartered Institute for IT and the Institution of Engineering and Technology offer professional development and networking opportunities.
