About the role

This is a support-first role. You will be the person technicians and clients rely on to keep systems running and problems solved. Alongside that, you will administer and configure electronic security platforms such as access control and CCTV. Please note this is not a general IT infrastructure role.

Experienced applicants who can hit the ground running are preferred. If you are earlier in your career but have strong technical aptitude, we would still like to hear from you. Responsibilities will be matched to your experience.

What we're looking for

• Reliable, organised and able to work independently
• A drive to go above and beyond. You take ownership and are never satisfied with "good enough"
• A genuine interest in learning and growing
• Hands-on experience with electronic security systems (strongly preferred)

Experience with any of these is a big advantage
