Someone has to make the technology disappear into the background. That is this job.

You would look after the computing, printing and network kit that a multinational defence organisation in Mons, Belgium relies on every day — installing it, configuring it, and getting it working again when it stops. On-site, alongside the people you support.

What you would be doing

• Installing, maintaining and operating the full spread of workstations, printers and network devices behind the site's office automation services
• Setting up commercial software on networked and standalone machines, and the network client software on the local-network workstations
• Configuring local server software and the more awkward peripherals
• Creating and maintaining user access, and troubleshooting it for both fixed desks and mobile devices
• Working with organisational units in Active Directory and with group policy
• Handling support requests, work orders and whatever else the queue brings
• Packaging software so it deploys automatically rather than one machine at a time
• Contributing to security compliance and remediation work
• Feeding incident, change, configuration and asset management through the service-management toolkit

What you would bring

• CompTIA A+ or a Microsoft Certified IT Professional qualification
• Proven hands-on work with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
• Proven work with Active Directory objects, user accounts and permissions
• Three years in a communications and information systems environment
• Three years supporting users, desktop hardware and desktop software
• Three years in an IT administration role
• A solid grasp of how personal computers are built and rolled out
• Current operating systems and office automation software

Why this one is worth a look

It is a hands-on post at a site where the work is visible and the people you help sit in the same building. Support roles here tend to open doors into the wider infrastructure teams.
