Job description

We're recruiting an IT Support Technician to join our growing Systems team. It's a role that sits at the heart of TNP, making sure colleagues across the business have the technology and support they need to do their best work.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their IT Support career to take pride in being the friendly, helpful backbone of TNP's operations. We believe great user support is what makes the difference between technology that frustrates people and technology that empowers them.

We're looking for someone whose enthusiasm and attitude come first. Technical skills can be taught; what we really care about is a passion for helping people, a curiosity about technology and a drive to dig into problems, and the patience to make every user feel supported.

We're a small team that works in modern ways. You'll work with DevOps practices, infrastructure-as-code, Microsoft cloud technologies (Intune, AutoPilot, Entra), and automation tooling - and you'll get the support to grow, learning on the job alongside experienced engineers and working towards industry certifications as your career develops.
