As a Support Desk Engineer, you will be the first point of contact for customers with technical issues via phone and email. Focusing on level 1 cases you’ll be providing effective remote support services for customers across IT, Wi-Fi and connectivity whilst always delivering first class customer service. For more complex issues we have an established nurturing culture where we encourage engineers to tackle these kinds of cases with support and through research but you will be responsible for assigning the cases to the relevant level if you’re unable to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe, ensuring clear and accurate notes are recorded in Salesforce.
We’re looking for someone with a proven track record in a similar role supporting IT and WiFi technologies as well as experience in Cisco IOS and configuring Cisco network equipment. You’ll have a solid working knowledge of Microsoft operating systems complete with a strong understanding of how networks operate.

You’ll be highly organised with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and demands at the same time as having a positive, supportive and helpful manner. You’ll work collaboratively with the team to ensure SLAs are achieved and maintained.
As we offer such a wide range of technical services to our customers there’s plenty of opportunity to develop and specialise in various technologies so a strong desire to learn, improve and succeed is a must.
We offer a medical cash plan, bike to work scheme, wellbeing hours each quarter as well as generous training opportunities plus free snacks in the office.
Our office is based in Yeovil, Somerset and has the benefit of free onsite parking plus we only moved in a few months ago so it’s still shiny and new. Ideally this will be an office-based role however we can offer hybrid working once you’re up and running in the role.
