Your role is to help keep our team up and running, so a people-focused, rapid response attitude is essential. Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical information in clear, everyday terms are vital.

You know how to prioritise requests and issues pragmatically as they come in, using your technical knowledge to swiftly diagnose and resolve problems, all while communicating openly and managing expectations effectively.

You'll sometimes work independently and at other times collaborate with members of Ensera's wider IT team, so having an open-minded and cooperative approach is crucial.
