• Documenting issues, changes and resolutions clearly

What they’re looking for

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP)
• Experience working with network hardware such as switches, routers and firewalls
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux environments
• Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
• Familiarity with IT service processes such as ITIL
• Full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle for business use

Desirable but not essential:
