Job Specification
Impact
ICT services are essential for the organization and staff to carry out their daily business. Loss of service can have severe impact, from loss of production systems (manufacturing), whereby 100s of people are unable to work, to the isolation of the field based person who has lost data or voice services and is unable to work. It is essential to ensure maximum availability of ICT services.
Maintaining and administering the Asset DB enables us to keep track of resources and control ICT costs and ensure the right tools are being provided.
Communication
ICT services are utilized by almost all individuals in the company, so communication verbally, face to face, by phone or by email
is expected.
Many services are managed and maintained by external service providers. This requires managing those resources:
running through problem determination and diagnostic processes, ensuring they meet agreed SLAs, escalating where SLAs are not
met or urgency prevails.
Ensuring documentation, processes and procedures are in place for ICT colleagues and end users will reduce the need for repeated interventions and explanations.
Requirements (including education, competences & years of experience):
Qualifications in an ICT related discipline, preferably with experience in an ICT Operational role.
