Service Desk Analyst

About the Service Desk Analyst Role at Codestone

We're looking for a Service Desk Analyst to join our Managed Services team, based on-site at a customer location in Watford. This is a front‑line role where you'll be the first point of contact for technical issues and service requests and the person who makes sure every query is owned, progressed, and resolved.

As this is an on‑site role, you’ll also be the walk‑up point of contact for users who come directly to IT with issues and requests, providing a calm, professional first response and clear updates throughout. You’ll be trusted to manage your own day‑to‑day workload, prioritise competing demands, and take ownership of incidents from initial triage through to resolution or escalation working proactively and independently, with in‑house colleagues and remote support from the wider team when needed.

40 working hours a week between the hours of 7am and 5:30pm, Monday - Friday.
