As a consequence of a promotion within our team, we now have an exciting opportunity for a career minded individual seeking to progress within the IT sector with an award winning managed service provider.

The Technical Consultant role includes ensuring the smooth running of IT operations at customer sites to which you have been assigned. You will need to take ownership of and manage all requests, owning the process through to successful completion, whilst ensuring a consistently high level of customer service at all times.

This includes understanding the security requirements of Cyber Essentials and ensuring that these are maintained.
