Job description

Overview

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to join our expanding Technology Business Unit as a Level 1 IT Engineer.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a 1st line support agent, you need to collect sufficient information about a customer's issue. If you cannot solve a problem, you pass along the ticket to the 2nd line support, who handles time‑consuming and technical issues arising from the first support. Usually, first line support receives queries from our internal people and external companies where we provide Evolve.

Responsibilities

• Act as the first point of contact for IT issues, handling initial support queries via phone, email or chat.
• Trouble shoot and resolve basic technical problems related to hardware, software and network connectivity.
• Log, categorise, and prioritise support tickets, escalating complex issues to 2nd or 3rd line support as needed.
• Maintain accurate records of incidents, resolutions, and procedures in the ticketing system.
• Provide clear instructions and guidance to users for resolving common issues and improving their tech experience.
• Monitor system performance and respond to alerts to prevent and address potential issues.
• Work closely with other support teams and departments to ensure comprehensive and efficient problem resolution.
