We’re more than just tools and we offer more than just a job. We’ve been family run since day one so working at Draper Tools is about being a part of the extended Draper family - a family that is rich in history, heritage and continued success.
We know our people make our company what it is and our teams are passionate about new ideas, new ways of working and continuous improvement, so we work hard to make sure each person has the tools they need to thrive and succeed.

- Logging, categorising and prioritising incidents and service requests in Zendesk, managing the ticket queue and keeping users updated throughout.
- Resolving issues at first contact wherever possible; escalate clearly and with full context when an issue is beyond skill set.
- Providing support for Windows 11 and macOS desktops/laptops and mobile end-user devices.
- Carrying out account and access tasks across the hybrid Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID environment: password resets, MFA, group membership, and joiner/mover/leaver changes under agreed process.
- Supporting Office 365 applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive).
- Desktop and software installation, configuration and support, including device imaging via Autopilot.
- Using remote management (RMM) and remote-support tools to diagnose and resolve incidents.
- Basic connectivity troubleshooting (Wi-Fi, VPN, printing, DNS/DHCP at a first-line level), escalating deeper network/WAN issues.
- Maintaining accurate, clear ticket notes and contributing to the knowledge base to help resolve recurring issues faster.
