The position also involves supporting the college network across campuses, assisting with website and portal upkeep where required, replacing or repairing printers, terminals and other peripherals, and providing practical guidance so staff and students can use systems without unnecessary disruption. Occasional travel between campuses will be required when on-site support is needed.

• Support the college website, student portals and related online tools so information remains accessible

• Diagnose, repair or replace printers, terminals, peripherals and other end-user equipment

• Provide on-the-spot and remote assistance consistent with a busy education helpdesk environment

• Travel to other campuses when required to resolve faults or support new equipment rollouts
