Job Description

Senior IT Technical Support

  

We are looking for an experienced IT professional to join our Global IT support team. Based at our EMEA head office in Dublin you will support both the onsite team of circa 50 individuals, including senior management, as well as remote workers. Additionally, you will make up part of the global team who provide support across the company network, including the UK and US. 

As a Global Leader in learning technology we run on the latest operating systems, giving you the opportunity to keep your skills up to date whilst providing first class support to your customers. 

  

Providing first and second line support for all users, through our global ticket system, KACE, your main responsibilities will include

 
    • Trouble shooting to provide support for hardware, software and network issues
    •  Responding to the helpdesk support line and e-mail queue
    •  Set up of new starter equipment, from build to induction
    •  Scheduling, shipping and tracking of equipment for repairs
    •  Network access, involving DHCP, DNS and WINS at the desktop
    •  Software updates 
    • Management of users accounts
 

To be successful in this role you will have already gained a good grounding working as an IT support technician or similar, ideally in a global or diversely located workforce. With a background in the full range of IT Support services you will be confident in providing users with support across the range of IT issues, including hardware, software and networking. Ideally you will have worked on the latest windows operating systems and be confident with the full suite of Office 365, with CISCO/Webex being highly advantageous, alongside experience of working with VPN and networks. A keen and competent trouble-shooter you will use your existing knowledge coupled with your problem solving skills to reach satisfactory solutions for your customers.

   

You will be used to working alone, and confident being the sole point of contact on site, as well as at times being the only IT support online due to time differences across the team. An independent working style, and the confidence to make decisions is critical to your success. This is a highly reactive role, requiring an on going balancing of ever shifting priorities from a range of stakeholders, some in business critical roles, so you must be confident in reprioritising on an on going basis as well as planning in order to support your team and colleagues as required.

  

You will work for a wide customer base, across the Skillsoft network so excellent communication and customer service skills are paramount to continuing to build the reputation of the Technical support team. You will need to be confident both in front of customers as well as providing support remotely using sharing technology and the phone as required.
