The Role
As a First Contact Resolution Engineer, you are a cut above the typical 1st Line Engineer. Working from our Milton Keynes HQ, you will be part of a blended team of experienced engineers (1st Line, FCR, 2nd Line). You will be encouraged to follow through on technical issues, as you look to grow your skills and learn more about the varied environments and technologies you will be supporting. You will receive training to support your growth, with a view to progression as you increase your knowledge and standing within the team. This role is pitched at a level where engineers should be able to resolve above 70% of the tickets coming into the business, which means you’ll be given the freedom and trust to work on every technology that our clients own. While we hold technical skills in high regard, we are always looking for someone who can bring a can-do attitude and a willingness to improve and learn.
