Job Description

  • Write short how-to guides for common user problems
  • Log, prioritise and update tickets on the service desk system
  • Visit branches or sites to fix issues that need hands on the machine

You'll need

  • Matric plus an IT qualification, such as CompTIA A+ or an IT diploma
  • Working knowledge of Windows 10 and 11 and Microsoft 365
  • Patient and friendly with non-technical users
  • Able to log clear, complete ticket notes

Nice if you have

  • ITIL Foundation
  • Experience with Intune or SCCM for device management
  • CompTIA Network+ or Microsoft MD-102 certification

On offer

  • Travel allowance for field technicians
  • Standby pay for after-hours cover
