Junior IT Support Technician

About Us

Survey Solutions is the UK's leading engineering surveyor, providing surveying services across the land, measured building, rail and underground utility sectors. We're on an ambitious growth journey and are looking for a Junior IT Support Technician to join our small, friendly IT team.

The Role  

Reporting to the IT Manager, you'll be the first point of contact for IT support across the business, helping colleagues in our offices and working remotely with hardware, software and account issues. It's a hands-on, varied role, ideal for someone with 1–2 years' IT support experience who wants to grow their career. More complex issues are escalated to the IT Manager or our third-party support partners, so you'll always have support while you learn.
