The outsourced service desk is the primary support vehicle for customers. You are here to back them up, take the escalations they pass up, and own the work that needs internal hands. Travel and on-site work Customer site visits are a regular part of this role. Some visits are scheduled (project work, installs, customer reviews) and some are reactive (incident response, hardware swaps). There will be weeks where you spend significant time on customer sites and weeks where you may not travel at all. Key Responsibilities * Own 1st and 2nd line tickets escalated by the outsourced service desk and resolve them end to end * Deliver customer change requests including laptop setups, SharePoint site creation, user onboarding and offboarding, mailbox changes, Teams configuration, and similar day to day work * Support project delivery, including on-site installs and configuration tasks * Carry out customer site visits for scheduled and reactive work * Collaborate with the Senior Engineer on escalations and more complex issues * Document what you do clearly so the rest of the team and the service desk can benefit * Suggest and implement improvements to systems, processes, and documentation Optional: Technical Account Management They could also use a hand on the account management side. Think of this as a Technical Account Manager (TAM) function sitting alongside your engineering work. This is genuinely optional and the engineering role stands on its own. The 2nd line work is already customer facing, and the sales and account management side is even more so. If that appeals to you and you want to develop in that direction, there is room to grow into it. * Supporting the Account Manager * Producing basic quotes, such as laptops and licensing * Holding technical account management discussions with customers If it becomes a substantial part of your role, this will reflect in your base salary.
