We are looking for a capable and customer-focused Desktop Support Engineer to provide hands-on IT support within a Microsoft-based environment.
This is a user-facing role where you’ll provide a combination of face-to-face and remote/telephone support, helping users resolve day-to-day technology issues and ensuring they have the tools and support they need to work effectively.
You'll support a broad range of hardware, software and Microsoft technologies, so we're looking for someone with solid troubleshooting skills, strong communication and a genuine service mindset.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Provide Level 1 and Level 2 desktop and end-user support.
- Deliver face-to-face, telephone and remote technical support to users.
- Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, operating system and connectivity issues.
- Support desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, mobile devices and other end-user hardware.
- Support users across a Microsoft environment, including Windows and Microsoft 365 applications.
- Assist with user accounts, permissions, password and access-related issues.
- Set up, configure and deploy laptops, desktops and other end-user devices.
- Support onboarding and offboarding activities, including equipment preparation and user access.
- Troubleshoot Microsoft 365 applications including Outlook, Teams, OneDrive and Office applications.
- Assist with device management and deployment activities, with Microsoft Intune experience highly regarded.
- Log, manage and resolve incidents and service requests through the service desk system.
- Escalate more complex technical issues to infrastructure, cloud or specialist teams when required.
- Maintain accurate technical and support documentation.
- Provide users with clear guidance and practical assistance when introducing new systems, applications or technology.
What We're Looking For:
You'll have previous experience in a Desktop Support, Service Desk, IT Support or End User Computing position and be comfortable supporting users with varying levels of technical knowledge. Ideally, you'll bring:
- Experience supporting users within a Microsoft technology environment.
- Strong Windows desktop support and troubleshooting skills.
- Experience supporting Microsoft 365 applications.
- Good knowledge of PC and laptop hardware, peripherals and common software issues.
- Experience with user account and access administration.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capability.
- Experience configuring and deploying end-user devices.
- Microsoft Intune experience is preferred, particularly device enrolment, configuration and application deployment.
- Basic understanding of networking and connectivity troubleshooting.
- Strong communication and customer service skills.
- The ability to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical users.
- A proactive and organised approach to managing support requests.
The Person:
Technical capability is important, but this is also very much a people-focused role.
You'll enjoy helping users, be comfortable working directly with people face-to-face and have the patience to work through problems with users who may not have a technical background.
We're looking for someone who takes ownership of issues, communicates well and understands that great IT support isn't simply about fixing technology – it's about getting the user back up and running as quickly and smoothly as possible.
