• Manage end-user system imaging and deployment, including Windows images, Intune/Autopilot provisioning, standard builds and refresh/reimaging, following change control, approved standard builds and ITIL-aligned request and configuration records.
• Deliver end-user enablement when required: onboarding, training, knowledge articles and adoption support for Microsoft 365 tools, documented in the knowledge base.
• Support and administer AI tools, including Microsoft Copilot and Claude AI models, covering data access controls (permissions and sensitivity/oversight aligned with existing SharePoint/OneDrive governance) and agent management (deployment, access, lifecycle and monitoring), within change control and governance.
• Apply business acumen and an understanding of business workflows to assess impact and determine support priorities.

What you bring to the table

• Diploma or degree in IT (or equivalent) and 2-4 years of IT support experience, including Tier 2.

• Experience with Windows Server, VMware virtualization, and Veeam backup and recovery.
