• Understanding of networking fundamentals (IP, DNS, DHCP)
• Experience working in a fast-paced or MSP environment (desirable)
• Strong customer service skills and the ability to communicate confidently with users

The ideal candidate will be proactive, motivated to progress, and comfortable working in a busy, high-volume support environment. You’ll enjoy being part of a relaxed, sociable team while maintaining a professional and customer-focused approach.
