This role owns the resolution of cases that cannot be resolved remotely at Level 2, contributes to the Change Management process, monitors and validates infrastructure alerts during assigned coverage windows, and serves as a senior technical reference for the broader team. The L3 Engineer drives automation opportunities and reduces reliance on third-party vendor escalation through in-depth resolution capability. While the primary accountability of this role is service delivery within the assigned region, it operates as an integral part of the global Follow-the-Sun model.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform deskside and remote interventions for incidents requiring physical access or deep system-level troubleshooting.
• Manage technical escalations to third-party vendors and hardware suppliers, tracking resolutions through to closure.

Change & problem management

• Participate in Change Advisory Board (CAB) reviews when the Regional IT Service Delivery Manager is unavailable, providing technical assessment of proposed changes and flagging risk where applicable.
• Lead or support Problem Record investigations; contribute to RCA documentation and PIR completion following Major Incidents.

Monitoring & alert coverage

• Monitor global infrastructure alerts, validate events, and route actionable incidents into the correct resolution queue during assigned coverage windows.

CMDB & knowledge

• Maintain CMDB accuracy for infrastructure assets within scope; identify and correct configuration item discrepancies.
• Author and maintain technical Knowledge Base articles for complex scenarios; validate L1 and L2 KB submissions for technical accuracy.

Automation & efficiency

• Identify repetitive tasks suitable for automation or scripting; implement approved solutions to reduce manual effort and contribute to the area financial savings target.

Key performance indicators

• Complex Incident Resolution Rate

Percentage of L3-assigned tickets resolved without requiring third-party vendor escalation.

• SLA Compliance Rate - Escalated Tickets

Percentage of L3 tickets resolved within defined SLA timeframes.

• Net Promoter Score (NPS)

NPS from automatic post-resolution surveys in the ITSM platform. Target: ≥ 40.

• Escalation Rate to Vendor

Percentage of L3 tickets requiring external vendor engagement; lower is better.

• Monitoring Alert Coverage Rate

Percentage of alerts reviewed and classified (actionable / informational / false positive) within defined timeframes during coverage windows.

• CMDB Update Compliance Rate

Percentage of tickets closed with CMDB records accurately updated.

• Knowledge Base Contribution

Number of KB articles authored and approved per month through the approved workflow.

• Automation Savings Contribution

• 4–6 years of experience in advanced IT technical support, systems administration, or infrastructure engineering.
• Expert knowledge of enterprise infrastructure including servers, storage, networking, and endpoint management.
• Strong familiarity with ITIL v4 processes, particularly Incident, Change, and Problem Management.
• Experience with ITSM platforms, CMDB management, scripting, and automation tooling.
• Full professional bilingual proficiency in English required - written and spoken.
