Level 1 IT Service Desk Engineer
💰 £30-35k basic
📍 Hybrid, 1 week per month onsite in Godalming, Surrey along with occasional customer site visits to Oxford (mileage expensed). Ideally based within 25 miles of Godalming, must have full UK driving licence and own car.
Company & Role
This opportunity sits with a well established UK cloud service provider supporting a varied base of enterprise and mid market customers. The business has built a strong reputation for technical quality and customer focus, and the service desk is the front line of that experience.
They are hiring a Level 1 IT Service Desk Engineer to provide remote technical support across a broad mix of Microsoft cloud and end user environments, with the occasional site visit thrown in. It is a small, close team where people get exposure to a much wider range of technology and customers than you would typically see at a larger organisation, which makes it a strong move for someone looking to push their career on rather than sit still at L1.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Genuine exposure to a wide variety of Microsoft technologies and customer environments, not the same repetitive ticket queue
- Small team culture where attitude and initiative actually get noticed and rewarded
- Clear path to grow technically, with scope to develop into more advanced support, project delivery or Microsoft cloud specialist
- Mostly remote working with only infrequent customer travel, so good flexibility day to day
- The chance to work somewhere stable and well established without being lost in a giant service desk operation
