What will the apprentice be doing?

You will be the first point of contact for incoming calls and support request tickets. (Don’t worry, you won’t be doing this on day one, we wouldn’t throw you in at the deep end).

Your primary task is to judge which requests can be dealt with within 15 minutes (then deal with them) and allocate more demanding requests to the rest of the support desk team. Typical tasks include:

  • Troubleshoot user account issues
  • Diagnose and clarify whether faults are configuration issues, software or hardware related
  • Accurately record details of customer requests/faults and collect all relevant information so the optimum solution can be implemented

When you’re not taking calls, you’ll be:

  • Configuring new PCs and network equipment ready for installation on customer sites
  • Monitoring systems and networks for abnormal statuses

If you are the kind of person who likes getting practical work then you could get involved with work at customer sites with anything from simple installations, like setting up kit for new users (laptops, docks, keyboards, monitors & printers) to assisting with network cable installations.

You’ll be joining an incredibly supportive team that looks out for each other.

This is a tremendous opportunity for you if you’ll love providing IT support but feel the need to have a little more flexibility, work with a small but expanding managed services company and be able to learn.
