- Collaborating with project managers, 3rd line engineers, and service desk teams
- Developing training materials and documentation to share your expertise across the business
- Building lasting relationships with clients through exceptional technical delivery and customer service
What We're Looking For
You'll need:
- Proven experience in IT & Telecoms support or delivery roles
- Subject matter expert-level knowledge in at least one of these areas:
- Networking: VLANs, routing, wireless, Ekahau, Meraki, SonicWall, Cisco, Aruba
- Voice Systems: SIP, hosted voice, Gamma, LG, Mitel, Avaya

- Industry certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, Meraki, SonicWall, Aruba)
- Active Microsoft certifications (MS101, MS100, AZ104, AZ140)
