  • Assist with vulnerability management activities, software updates and remediation of identified risks.
  • Support cyber security awareness initiatives and promote good security practices across the business.
  • Help maintain asset inventories and ensure systems remain compliant with company standards and security requirements.
  • Create and maintain IT documentation, processes, procedures and user guides.
  • Help to identify and implement opportunities to improve IT infrastructure.
  • Liaise with third-party IT providers and software vendors when necessary.

  • A proactive mindset with a genuine interest in IT, technology and cyber security.
  • Experience troubleshooting desktop, laptop and peripheral hardware issues.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office 365 applications.
  • Experience with networking, switches, and Wi-Fi troubleshooting.
  • Previous experience in an IT support, service desk or technical support environment.
