IT Service Engineer

• Maintain accurate asset records, validated documents, knowledge articles and support procedures.
• Apply Group IT policies, security controls and risk-management requirements consistently in day-to-day support.
• Contribute to security checks, disaster recovery exercises and testing activities under the direction of the Lead or wider IT team.
• Deliver clear end-user guidance and training, helping users adopt technology safely and effectively.
• Share technical knowledge and provide practical support to junior or apprentice colleagues.
• Work collaboratively with regional and global IT teams to provide support beyond the local site when required.
• Travel to and provide end-user IT support at other London sites when required.
• Provide occasional out-of-hours, shift or on-call support when required.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot desktop hardware, peripherals, mobile devices and common software issues independently.
• Experience working with service-management processes, ticket queues, asset records and technical documentation.
