Job Description

This is a hands-on, in-office role based in our Melbourn office. Due to the systems being supported, there will be occasional weekend working and on-call duties, so flexibility is required.

The team combines excellent problem-solving skills with high-quality customer service to resolve user issues as quickly and efficiently as possible, using established processes as well as independent investigation to identify, resolve, and document fixes in case of reoccurrence.

This is an interesting and varied role where you will be responsible for segregated, technically rich environments that will allow you to develop your skills in areas such as technical management, automation, and operations, whilst ensuring that all environments are available, reliable, secure, and able to meet the demands placed upon them.
