Our client has worked within the local education sector, supporting schools and MATs across the region for over 25 years.
Key parts to the role as Managed Service Engineer:
You'll be based out of the main office, but you will work in the field with the end customers (Primary schools based mainly in Leeds, Otley, Harrogate and a couple in Selby). There will be travel involved within the school opening times of 39 weeks; the remaining 13 weeks of the year are made up of your holidays, training, and other projects. The client also closes for the Xmas period for around 10 days.
The remaining parts of the 13 weeks not working with the Primary schools are taken up with training and projects within schools.
Normal working week consists of 37.5 hours per week. Start and finish times within the 39 weeks are: travel to the first school for 9.00 am for 3 hours, then travel to the next school for the next 3-hour visit around 1.00 pm; the remaining one and a half hours allows for travel and break time.
Most clients are flexible in allowing staff to start well before 9.00 am and as early as 8.00 am, thus meaning time to see their staff before school starts, but this must be arranged with the client. The early start also has the benefit of an early finish (mid-afternoon).
The Senior in-house team & help desk is available for guidance and assistance during the week. You will be included in any meetings with the client for the future development of the school’s IT, plus any installations at the school that can lead to overtime if you so wish to take it; if not, the opportunity will be offered to other staff.
