Job description

Ever built your own PC, tinkered with Linux, or hosted a game server just to see if you could?

If you are intrigued with how the internet works and want to break into tech, this is your launchpad. You don’t need a computer science degree or years of IT service desk experience—just curiosity, natural troubleshooting instincts, and great communication skills. We’ll teach you the rest with an intensive 3-month training programme that takes you from internet fundamentals all the way to server administration.

The Reality Check

This isn’t a silent role in a dark server room. You are the frontline hero for our customers. At IONOS, we help people and businesses make the most of web hosting and cloud technology so you will spend your day on phone, email, and live chat—troubleshooting live server setups, resolving account and billing questions, and recommending upgrades that genuinely solve customer problems.

If you love tech and enjoy helping people, this role gives you hands-on experience that will build your career in IT.

What You’ll Do

• Solve real problems. Investigate and troubleshoot server and hosting issues, working towards the right resolution and involving specialist teams when needed.
• Support customers end to end. Handle technical, account and billing questions by phone, email and live chat; take ownership and keep customers updated.
• Get closer to the technology. Work with Windows and/or Linux server environments and support installations, configuration or maintenance activities within the team’s remit.
• Make useful recommendations. Identify when a different plan, product or upgrade could genuinely help a customer and explain the value clearly, with the customer’s needs at the centre of the conversation.
• Make the complex simple. Explain technical issues in everyday language and help customers build confidence using their services.
• Keep improving. Record cases accurately, notice recurring issues, share learning and stay curious about new hosting technologies and products.

• A Natural Problem Solver: You stay calm when things break, ask the right questions, and don't stop until you find the answer.
• A People Person: Patient, clear, and empathetic. You can handle busy shift patterns and leave frustrated customers feeling heard and supported.
• Growth-Minded: Ready to absorb our 3-month training programme and kick-start a long-term career in cloud and hosting infrastructure.
• Team Player: You enjoy working in a busy, customer facing team and within the agreed shift pattern.
