• Problem-Solving: Hands-on experience troubleshooting a variety of technical issues across hardware and software.
• Communication Skills: Excellent interpersonal skills, able to engage with colleagues at all levels of technical ability.
• Flexibility: Willing to work outside of core hours to meet business demands.
• Driving Licence: A full, clean driving licence is essential due to the travel required for off-site support.
