Level 1 Service Desk Engineer Remote, with occasional customer site visits across the Godalming to Heathrow corridor (mileage expensed). Ideally based within that area. Company & role This opportunity sits with a well established UK cloud service provider supporting a varied base of enterprise and mid market customers. The business has built a strong reputation for technical quality and customer focus, and the service desk is the front line of that experience. They are hiring a Level 1 Service Desk Engineer to provide remote technical support across a broad mix of Microsoft cloud and end user environments, with the occasional site visit thrown in. It is a small, close team where people get exposure to a much wider range of technology and customers than you would typically see at a larger organisation, which makes it a strong move for someone looking to push their career on rather than sit still at L1.
