Here is an exiting opportunity to join us as a Unified Desktop Support engineer.

You will work within a team of 20 located across all hospital sites at MSE with the main objective of replacing all end user equipment identified for replacement in a given financial year. The MSE digital estate is an enterprise environment both in scale and complexity and requires an experienced engineer with clear leadership and direction from their team lead to navigate the technical and organisational challenges they will face in the role.

The End User estate is made up of tens of thousands of different asset types including but not limited to iPods, iPads, Desktop PCs, Laptops, Monitors, TVs, AV Equipment, Unified Comms handsets and peripherals.

Main duties of the job

Desktop Support Engineers are responsible for the provision of expert advice across a range of information technology areas such as application, training and hardware support.

The individual will demonstrate the ability to comprehensively support mainstream applications and show the ability to investigate, assess, research, test and resolve complex issues on a variety of systems and hardware.

The role requires a good understanding and application of customer service throughout the lifecycle of requests. The planned equipment refresh programme will function as an operational function but will plan work using typical project methodology. When equipment is replaced any related support requests will be raised on the Trusts ITSM platform.
