Level 2 Support Technician

Did you know that queue is pronounced from only the letter “q” as the other four letters are waiting for their turn? Don't get the wrong idea though – our client's ticket queue is spick and span! 

They are a leading Managed Services Provider who have been in the industry for nearly fifteen years. They like to think of themselves as a community-centered organization: they have clients in different sectors within their region, and their mission is to help them succeed. Their values? To do it with empathy – they want to deliver friendly, caring, and responsive service 100% of the time.

They have a small and highly efficient team, with a leader who has 25 years of experience in the IT support industry. The team is fairly small – you'd be working alongside a Director of Operations and Level 3 Engineer, and a few other Level 2 Engineers. They're expecting to grow at least 50% this year, so business is booming! The majority of the company's growth stems from current clients' new projects.

This is a perfect position for someone who enjoys working alongside customers to prepare tailored solutions for their technical needs, and someone passionate about breaking down intricate problems. This client is keen on finding someone who is able to manage tickets, and wants to grow with the company. Their ticket queue is in the single digits, so despite their growth they have everything under control, and have a well-organized task management plan to ensure everything is taken care of. Collaboration is the kew here – you'll be constantly in sync with your team members.
