We have an exciting new opportunity for a Service Desk Engineer to serve as the first point of contact for IT support in our London Kings Cross office. You’ll be passionate about ensuring that end users receive timely, effective, and professional assistance with their technical needs. You’ll play a critical role in maintaining operational efficiency and enhancing the user experience. You’ll join us at an exciting time, with a top leadership team on board and an ambitious five-year plan that will see us growing ten-fold. If you’re an ITIL-qualified Service Desk Engineer and enjoy a fast-paced tech scale up, we’d love for you to get in touch!
Location: London, Kings Cross - 4 days per week in the office.
Where do you fit in?
As a trusted partner to end users, you’ll play a key role in ensuring seamless IT support to our teams across Portsmouth and London. You’ll report to the Engineering Manager of IT Operations, providing end-user assistance across software and hardware. This includes Office 365, Apple MacBooks, Dell laptops, and Wyse thin clients. You’ll also support audio/video equipment and all collaboration tools, including Slack, Zoom, and MS Teams. In addition, you’ll undertake systems and application support, troubleshooting issues relating to a large variety of SaaS platforms. You’ll also manage hardware and asset lifecycle, ensuring a well-maintained inventory.
Success in this role requires more than just technical skills. You’ll need to be highly self-sufficient and resourceful, able to figure things out independently – especially when transitioning between different tech stacks. You’ll be a proactive problem solver with a strong sense of ownership, working with urgency and delivering solutions effectively. A mentorship mindset is also key – you’ll play an active role in mentoring and upskilling others, helping to elevate the overall IT capability within the team.
Our future is bright, and we are investing in innovation. You’ll ensure our IT operations provision is seamless and removes barriers, adding value to our end users. Exceptional customer focus is non-negotiable, your approach will ensure that the IT experience is smooth, professional, and efficient for all users, including C-suite executives.
We are an equal opportunities employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
