About the company
We're looking for a Senior IT Support Engineer to join our busy Service Desk team based at our head office in Trumpington, Cambridge - someone who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and setting the standard for outstanding customer service.
In this pivotal role, you'll be the go-to expert for escalated issues across hardware, software and cloud platforms, ensuring swift and effective resolutions. But it's not just about support - you'll also play a key part in shaping how IT services evolve across the business. From system administration and documentation to driving improvement initiatives, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact and help steer the future of our IT landscape.
As part of the role, you'll travel occasionally to our regional offices in Milton Keynes , Norwich and London to tackle in-person support tickets that can't be resolved remotely, while also building strong relationships with teams across the business.
For this reason, a full driving license and access to a vehicle is essential., We're a different kind of business. Whilst we're a major player in the property sector, Bidwells remains a privately-owned, independent Partnership, with an inclusive, entrepreneurial culture. We give our people autonomy and take the time to listen.
