About the Company

olutions that help Australian businesses thrive. We're a Microsoft-focused Managed Service Provider with a reputation for solving complex problems while keeping things human. Our team is collaborative, values-driven, and deeply committed to our clients' success. We're large enough to offer stability and cutting-edge projects, yet small enough for every team member to have a voice and make an impact. The Role We're looking for an experienced Service Desk Analyst who can resolve Level 1 requests and incidents efficiently, with minimal supervision, from day one. Your day will be a mix of working through a ticket queue and getting out to client sites for deskside support - so you'll need to be just as comfortable troubleshooting in person as you are at a desk.

  • Owning and resolving a queue of Level 1 tickets, prioritising effectively and meeting SLAs
  • Diagnosing and resolving common requests and incidents across Windows, Microsoft 365, and end-user devices, using documented procedures, automations, and your own experience
  • Using automation tools to action routine requests such as account updates, access changes, and user administration - and flagging opportunities to improve or extend existing automations
  • Regularly attending onsite client visits to provide hands-on deskside support
  • Escalating to Level 2 and Level 3 engineers with clear, well-documented context when an issue is outside L1 scope
  • Keeping tickets accurate and up to date, with notes that a colleague could pick up and understand immediately
  • Spotting patterns in recurring issues and contributing to documentation, process improvements, or automation ideas
  • At least 2-3 years' experience in a service desk or IT support role, working independently on Level 1 tickets
  • Confident troubleshooting across:
  • Windows operating systems
  • Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, Entra ID/basic admin)
  • Core networking, user, and device fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, printers, permissions)
  • Comfort working within ticketing systems and meeting SLA targets in a queue-based environment
  • Strong communication skills and a customer-first mindset, especially when explaining technical issues to non-technical users
  • Sound judgement on when to resolve, when to escalate, and when to ask for a second opinion
  • A proactive approach to documentation, process, and using (or improving) automation Nice to have: Microsoft certifications such as MD-102 (Endpoint Administrator) or MS-900 (Microsoft 365 Fundamentals), or equivalent hands-on experience in a Microsoft-stack environment. Why You'll Love Working Here Backed, not micromanaged - You're trusted to own your queue, supported by senior engineers when you need them
  • Built on good process - Strong documentation, automation, and a team that shares knowledge rather than hoards it
  • A real path to Level 2 and beyond - Structured progression for analysts who want to keep growing
  • Real tools, real stack - Automation platforms, the Microsoft ecosystem, and regular onsite client work
