Company

For 81 years, we've achieved success through our ability to innovate, placing a clear emphasis on how we best serve our customers’ needs. As demand continues to grow, we have expanded rapidly, now delivering a superior range of dry goods, frozen and chilled products, fresh seafood and meat, confectionery, paper products, and cleaning solutions.

In recent years, we’ve seen significant growth and invested in our systems and processes, building a close partnership with Woolworths Group that has continued to deliver high-quality service for our customers and suppliers.

In 2024, Woolworths moved to a 100% interest in the PFD business, bringing PFD exciting opportunities as a strategic part of the Group. Sharing expertise across both teams will ensure our continued success and drive further growth and unlock our collective potential.

About this Position

As an IT Service Desk Analyst, you’ll be the first point of contact for staff needing technical support. From resolving day-to-day issues to helping drive improvements in how we deliver support, this is a hands‑on role where no two days are the same.

This is a great time to join - The Service Desk is evolving, with projects underway to automate, streamline, and enhance the way we work. You’ll play an active role in shaping that journey while supporting the people who make our business thrive.

At PFD Foods, we bring people together through food and you’ll be part of the team that ensures our technology runs smoothly so we can deliver on that purpose.

• Escalate issues where required, ensuring SLA compliance and smooth handovers to other IT teams.
• Document interactions, processes, and resolutions to build and maintain a library of knowledge articles.
• Support process improvement and automation initiatives to enhance Service Desk operations.
• Collaborate with your teammates and contribute to a positive, customer‑focused support culture.

Nice to Have

• ITIL knowledge or certification.
• Experience using Jira Service Desk or similar ticketing systems.
• Supporting knowledge of end-user computing hardware (laptops, desktops, mobile devices, printers).
