You’ll also support standalone and encrypted laptops, assisting with system builds, repairs, and re-accreditation processes.
You will be working 5 days a week onsite and must be eligible for DV (Developed Vetting) clearance to be considered.
We can offer great career progression opportunities and benefits which you can flex to meet your needs and training and development opportunities.
What you'll be doing:
* Diagnosing and repairing faults on workstations, thin clients, printers, and desktop equipment.
* Sourcing and replacing hardware components as required.
* Installing, configuring, and relocating desktop equipment.
* Building and configuring workstations, including network port reconfigurations.
* Preparing and building laptops and other mobile devices to meet customer specifications.
* Encrypting, repairing, and re-accrediting laptops.
* Ensuring compliance with security protocols, including software encryption and system lockdown.
* Updating asset management records and maintaining audit trails.

What you’ll bring:
* Experience as a Laptop/Desktop Hardware Support Engineer.
* Previous service delivery experience, preferably in a multi-vendor environment.
* Strong communication, analytical, and customer service skills.
* High attention to detail, particularly when recording asset and incident data.
It would be great if you had:
* Familiarity with ITSM/ITIL frameworks (experience with service and asset management tools is beneficial but not essential).
If you are interested in this role but not sure if your skills and experience are exactly what we’re looking for, please do apply, we’d love to hear from you!
