Our environment consists of a wide range of software and hardware, with connectivity established into Azure and AWS. The role offers flexible working, a range of office locations to work from, opportunities to work from home, an excellent pension offering, and most importantly, great colleagues!
If you are keen to work in a challenging, exciting, and fast paced IT environment with a great team; this is the role for you.
What will you be doing?
You will become an important member of a thriving team, working with Azure, AWS, and everything from networks to storage units hosted within NNC’s 4 Data Centre’s. You will be involved in a mix of projects, maintenance, and escalation tickets from the service desk, with no week being the same as the previous one.
