Job Description

Tickets come in all day at this group of private schools in Alberton, and you close them. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Alberton. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Visit branches or sites to fix issues that need hands on the machine
  • Write short how-to guides for common user problems
  • Keep the asset register up to date when equipment moves
  • Log, prioritise and update tickets on the service desk system
  • Connect users remotely with a remote support tool to fix issues

You'll need

  • Code B driver's licence and own car for field posts
  • Patient and friendly with non-technical users
  • At least 1 year of help desk or desktop support (not needed for intern posts)
  • Able to log clear, complete ticket notes

Helpful, not essential

  • CompTIA Network+ or Microsoft MD-102 certification
  • Experience supporting point-of-sale or medical devices

What's in it for you

  • Travel allowance for field technicians
  • Paid certification exams after probation
  • Clear path to second-line and systems roles
  • Company laptop and cellphone

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Alberton really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): IT certificates, including A+ or N+ if you have them, certified matric certificate and ID copy plus copy of your driver's licence for field posts.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Alberton.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Be ready for a practical test on a real laptop or a phone troubleshooting role-play.
  • List your certifications right under your name; A+ and ITIL are common keyword filters.
