• Support business-critical site technology such as EPoS systems, payment terminals, printers and meeting-room AV.
• Contribute to new site openings, office moves, migrations and technology rollouts.
• Investigate endpoint vulnerabilities and security alerts, implement fixes and coordinate remediation with internal teams and suppliers.
• Maintain build guides, troubleshooting playbooks, knowledge base articles and handover documentation.
• Provide approachable, customer-focused support, explaining technical issues and next steps in plain language.

What You'll Need

• Experience in a 2nd line (or strong 1st line stepping up) support role within an MSP or fast-paced, multi-site environment.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across Windows 10/11, end-user computing and Microsoft 365 services (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive).
• Hands-on experience administering Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, including user and group management, access control and MFA.
• Practical knowledge of endpoint management tools such as Intune/Autopilot, Group Policy, MDM platforms and Apple Business Manager.
• Good understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi) and how they impact end-user connectivity.
• Awareness of security best practice for end-user devices, including patching, vulnerability remediation and alignment to frameworks such as Cyber Essentials.
• Familiarity with ITIL-aligned processes (incident, request, change and problem management) in a ticketed Service Desk environment.
• Clear, confident communication skills, able to explain technical issues in plain language to both technical and non-technical users.
• Organised, proactive and comfortable owning tasks through to resolution, including coordinating with suppliers and third parties.
