Careers at AIT
We’re always looking for talented people to join the AIT team. We offer a rewarding work environment, career progression and additional benefits for the right candidates!

One team, UK-wide: support, installations and connectivity for schools, trusts and academies.

We prioritise the continuous development of our employees in all facets of our operations, offering a fertile environment for growth.

We’re a specialist managed service provider working only in education — IT support, installations, cabling and connectivity for primary schools, secondary schools, trusts and independent schools across the UK. That focus is why people stay: you get deep expertise in one sector, not a different industry every week. Read more about us and why schools choose AIT.

How we work
Most IT companies will tell you they’re organised. We can show you. AIT runs on AIT Atlas, the operations platform we built in-house to manage our people, projects, schools and technology — the same way we build platforms for the schools we support. Navigate. Manage. Deliver.
Here’s what that means for your working week:
- Your rota, not a guessing game. Atlas’s Rota module plans every engineer’s week across the schools we cover — who’s on site, who’s on the service desk, who’s on a project. You start Monday knowing where you’ll be and what you’re there to do, and school closures, term dates and INSET days are already factored in. (Illustrative: a typical term-time week might see around 150 scheduled school visits coordinated through Atlas across the whole team.)
- Projects with a plan. Summer works, new-build fit-outs and refresh programmes are tracked in Atlas’s projects view from survey to sign-off — so installation teams walk on site with the job scoped, the kit allocated and the milestones agreed, not a scribbled job sheet.
- Kit and vans sorted. The Fleet module keeps vehicles, tools and test equipment assigned and serviced. Field engineers spend their time engineering, not hunting for a cable certifier.
- Your development, tracked. Atlas’s HR module is where your learning pathway lives — certifications, training milestones and progression conversations are recorded and reviewed, so career growth is something we manage deliberately, not something you have to chase.
- One view of every school. The CRM keeps each school’s history, contacts and site knowledge in one place, so you’re never walking in blind — even on your first visit.
Atlas is one of four platforms we’ve built ourselves — alongside AIT Horizon, Helpdesk Reporting and AIT Ordering — and they’re included with our service to schools, not sold on top. If you join us, you’re joining a company that builds software as well as networks. Our clients see the results through the Customer Portal.

Where you might fit
Service Desk & Remote Support
First response for hundreds of schools: triaging, fixing and escalating from our head office or hybrid. Great entry point into education IT, with a clear pathway to senior and field roles.
Field Engineering
Scheduled on-site days at your allocated schools, planned through Atlas — proactive maintenance, hands-on fixes and being the friendly face of AIT to school staff.
Installations & Projects
Structured cabling, wireless, servers, CCTV and full new-build fit-outs — delivered as milestone-tracked projects, often in school holidays. See the kind of work on our network and data cabling page.
Connectivity & Infrastructure
Broadband, networking and cloud specialists keeping schools online and secure across the UK.
Business & Operations
Procurement, finance, HR and account management — the engine room that keeps 75 people and 249 schools moving.

FAQs
No. Experience in educational environments is often desirable but it isn't essential — we provide ongoing training, and your learning pathway is planned and tracked from your first week. What we can't teach is attitude: curiosity, reliability and genuine care for the people you support.
Our head office is in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, but we support 249 schools and 20 trusts across the UK, so field and project roles are based around the schools they serve. Where your role allows, we offer hybrid working and equip you to be productive from any location.
Planned, not chaotic. Your week is scheduled in AIT Atlas — allocated school days, project time and any training booked in advance, with your kit and vehicle managed through the same platform. You'll know on Monday where you'll be on Friday, and the schools you visit will know you're coming.
Yes — every school-facing role requires an enhanced DBS check, which we arrange and fund as part of onboarding. It's a standard part of working in education and one of the reasons schools trust our team on site.
Absolutely. If you think you have something amazing to offer, get in touch — we are always looking for great people. Send your CV to jobs@advanceditservices.co.uk with a note about the kind of role you’re after.
