About the role

This role involves supporting Linux based workstations (mostly Ubuntu), desk equipment, and office technical services such as printers and meeting rooms. You’ll also have opportunities to work on our workstation management tools and systems, like making changes to Puppet modules and writing scripts to improve the workstation experience for our staff.
About you

You’ll also be someone with a good working knowledge of Linux and desktop applications with a genuine interest in learning and growing in this position. Most importantly, you’ll need to be able to communicate calmly and supportively in a range of formats: in person, on the phone, through video calls and screen sharing and when updating support tickets.
