As an IT Helpdesk Analyst you'll be responsible for:

• Provide first-line technical support to users via phone, in person, and remotely. Log all incidents, service requests, and resolutions in the ITSM platform (Service Now) within agreed SLA targets
• Diagnose and troubleshoot issues across multiple technologies, ensuring accurate triage and timely resolution of incidents and fulfilment of service requests
