The function of this role is to serve as the first point of contact, ensuring the day-to-day management, support, and maintenance of IT-related infrastructure within a small team, including an outsourced function. Given the nature of the role, confidence in recognizing both strengths and areas for growth is essential. This approach not only enhances service delivery but also identifies opportunities for professional development.
The position involves working with a diverse range of technologies, providing an opportunity to expand technical skills. A strong passion for IT and technology is key, as there will be continuous learning and development opportunities.
The role requires travel to multiple sites across England and Scotland, as well as occasional international travel to locations in the USA and the Middle East. A full UK driver’s license is necessary.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals looking to transition from a Level 1 IT support role with substantial experience or those with Level 2 experience who are eager to develop further in a dynamic environment.
As the role is critical to IT operations, it is primarily onsite, with some flexibility in working arrangements, but it is not a hybrid position.
