The role is hands-on with a variety of interaction with senior to leadership level stakeholders who are based at site, supporting local project initiatives with some 2nd line support activity (shared with the Group Central Technical Support team who are not based at this site) and localised 3rd line support. All support is to be driven from our ITSM Platform, which you should be familiar with and carried out in accordance with Group Central IT processes, procedures and strategic direction.Â
The position is based out of our St Albans office but does have a degree of hybrid capability. Every Friday you can work from home, given there is no requirement planned in by site and there is opportunity to flex across other days depending on the scenario.
The Role…

Key requirements…
The successful candidate will have a proven history of delivering technical support across a wide range of technologies, working collaboratively with large-scale 3rd parties and remote interaction with other IT colleagues. You will engage a range of tasks from resolving desk-based incidents, requests and problem records to acting as a lead for any projects at site to getting hands on with some of the fantastic technology in operation.  You will be the ‘go to person’ at site for all things IT, so you must be comfortable with working without your IT colleagues and management being physically at site. Â
