Job Description

You'll be the person who fixes it when laptops, printers and logins break at a managed IT services provider in Ermelo. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll be based at a managed IT services provider in Ermelo. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Replace faulty hardware and log warranty claims with suppliers
  • Reset passwords and unlock accounts in Active Directory and Entra ID
  • Image, set up and hand over new laptops and desktops
  • Troubleshoot Outlook, Teams and OneDrive problems for users
  • Install and configure printers, scanners and docking stations
  • Write short how-to guides for common user problems
  • Visit branches or sites to fix issues that need hands on the machine

What you need

  • Working knowledge of Windows 10 and 11 and Microsoft 365
  • Patient and friendly with non-technical users
  • Able to log clear, complete ticket notes
  • Basic networking: IP addresses, DNS, DHCP and Wi-Fi

Nice if you have

  • Experience supporting point-of-sale or medical devices
  • Experience with Intune or SCCM for device management

On offer

  • Travel allowance for field technicians
  • Clear path to second-line and systems roles
  • Company laptop and cellphone
  • Standby pay for after-hours cover

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: IT certificates, including A+ or N+ if you have them plus copy of your driver's licence for field posts.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.
