Service Desk Engineer
Location: Edinburgh (Onsite, 5 days per week)
Are you a hands-on 2nd Line Engineer who loves solving tricky problems and owning tickets through to resolution? This is a great opportunity to support a busy, mission-driven campus and keep teaching and learning running smoothly—while contributing to improvements across devices, apps, networking, and AV.
About the role
You’ll provide dedicated 2nd line support across a M365/Windows estate, taking ownership of incidents and service requests raised via the IT Service Desk. You’ll diagnose and fix issues in person and via phone/email/remote tools, collaborate closely with colleagues and vendors, and contribute to planned maintenance and small projects throughout the year.
This is an onsite role based in Edinburgh, Monday to Friday, with occasional out-of-hours work for planned changes. You’ll also be the type of person who is happy to jump in and resolve 1st line issues too, no one is bigger than the team here.
