• Contribute to documentation, asset management, and process improvement.
• What We're Looking For
• Solid experience in a hands-on IT support role covering 1st/2nd line duties.

• Familiarity with telephony systems - particularly VoIP (3CX, Mitel, etc.).
• Comfortable working independently and proactively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a genuine desire to improve systems and service delivery.
• Excellent communication skills - both technical and user-facing.
