• Install and maintain software within hosted Windows (Hyper-V) environments
• Deliver customer training to support effective use of the Prohire platform
• Apply updates and patching to internal infrastructure where required
• Identify, troubleshoot, and escalate software defects and enhancement requests, feeding into internal change and development processes
• Write and maintain SQL queries for database support and maintenance activities
• Create and maintain reports providing financial and vehicle management insights for customers

Candidate Requirements

Essential

• Strong customer service and telephone support skills
• Experience working within a structured Service Desk environment
• Basic SQL knowledge (writing select statements, using where clauses, simple joins, and ordering/filtering results) with a desire to develop more advanced capability
• Ability to take full ownership of tickets, from initial diagnosis through to resolution, ensuring SLA targets are met and customers are kept informed
• Strong written, verbal, and analytical problem-solving skills
• Proactive, motivated approach with a willingness to learn and take on new challenges

Desirable

• Experience supporting Windows environments and associated hardware (e.g. routers, printers, tablets, network devices)
• Stronger SQL capability, including complex joins, aggregates and subqueries, with experience troubleshooting data issues, producing detailed reports, and understanding relational database design.
• 2–3 years’ experience working within an ITIL-aligned Service Desk
• ITIL v4 certification

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, negotiable based on experience
• Comprehensive benefits package including gym membership, private healthcare, and company pension, available following successful completion of a 6-month probation period
• Full hands-on training across all [Employer hidden] products
• Hybrid working model (combination of remote and office-based working)
• Clear opportunities to develop advanced technical and software skills
• 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 days after 3 years’ service
