• Log, update, and manage tickets with clear diagnostics and next steps.
• Perform first-line and L2 checks using runbooks, dashboards, and logs.
• Conduct basic Linux diagnostics, such as checking logs, services, and system status.
• Use networking fundamentals to support initial triage, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs and routing basics.
• Escalate to SRE, DevOps, Network, platform, or vendor teams with clear evidence.
• Provide customer-facing updates in line with SLAs.
• Support shift handovers, routine health checks, and operational reporting.
• Help improve knowledge articles, runbooks, and standard operating procedures.

Essential Experience

• Previous experience in a Service Desk, NOC, infrastructure support, managed services, or technical support environment.
• Comfortable working in a 24/7 shift-based operations environment.
• Experience using an ITSM/ticketing tool such as HaloITSM, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, FreshService or similar.
• Good troubleshooting mindset and ability to follow structured runbooks.
• Basic Linux command-line confidence.
• Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing/switching basics.
• Experience reading monitoring dashboards or alerts.
• Strong written and verbal communication, especially during incidents.
• Good judgement on when to resolve, when to escalate and what information to capture.

Nice to have:

• Experience / Interest in AI infrastructure, data centres, HPC or GPU environments.
• Exposure to Grafana, Prometheus, SolarWinds, Zabbix, Datadog, CloudWatch or similar.
• Basic Bash or Python scripting.
• ITIL Foundation, CompTIA Network+, Linux+ or similar.
