Modern Workplace Engineer (Interim)

About the role
Optics11 is looking for a hands-on modern workplace engineer for a 3-month assignment. The goal is to finish our Microsoft Intune implementation, move existing devices over to Intune management and bring the device management functions of our current RMM tool into Intune. Optics11 is a precision fibre optic sensing company in the Netherlands, and we work with a mixed Windows, macOS and Linux environment. You will extend and complete Intune management across all three platforms.
You will work alongside the IT team and report to the IT & Security Manager. The role focuses on endpoints; network and server infrastructure are out of scope.
Responsibilities
In short: every device managed by Intune, secured to CIS baselines and documented, so day-to-day device management no longer depends on the RMM.
Finish the Intune setup on all three platforms.
Windows: complete and harden the setup, including configuration and compliance policies, Autopilot profiles and the Enrollment Status Page, update rings and app packaging (Win32/MSIX).
macOS: enrollment through Apple Business Manager, configuration and compliance profiles, FileVault and app deployment.
Linux: enrollment and compliance policies for supported distributions, with scripted configuration where Intune falls short.
2. Implement CIS baselines. Translate the CIS Benchmarks for Windows, macOS and Linux into Intune configuration policies and scripts. Pilot first, handle exceptions and record every deviation with its rationale.
3. Migrate current installs to Intune management. Inventory existing devices, choose a migration path per platform (re-enrollment, Autopilot registration or rebuild), run pilots and migrate in waves with minimal disruption for users.
4. Move RMM device management to Intune. List everything the RMM does today and rebuild its management functions in Intune: software deployment, scripts, patching, configuration and remote support, or an agreed alternative where Intune falls short. Document clearly which functions remain in the RMM and why.
5. Deliver a full documentation set. Device baselines per platform, CIS implementation and exceptions register, enrollment and migration runbooks, app packaging guide, script repository with usage notes, and device procedures for joiners, movers and leavers.
6. Transfer knowledge. Hand over so the internal team can run and change the setup independently.
