Job Description

A group of private schools in Ermelo needs a calm tech who can help frustrated users get back to work. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a group of private schools. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Replace faulty hardware and log warranty claims with suppliers
  • Keep the asset register up to date when equipment moves
  • Log, prioritise and update tickets on the service desk system
  • Visit branches or sites to fix issues that need hands on the machine
  • Install and configure printers, scanners and docking stations
  • Image, set up and hand over new laptops and desktops
  • Reset passwords and unlock accounts in Active Directory and Entra ID

Must-haves

  • Working knowledge of Windows 10 and 11 and Microsoft 365
  • Able to log clear, complete ticket notes
  • At least 1 year of help desk or desktop support (not needed for intern posts)
  • Basic networking: IP addresses, DNS, DHCP and Wi-Fi

Nice if you have

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

On offer

  • Standby pay for after-hours cover
  • Clear path to second-line and systems roles
  • Travel allowance for field technicians
  • Paid certification exams after probation
