  • Ensure customers and involved parties are updated with their incident progress either by phone or by using ConnectWise Manage (Our service desk ITSM application) on time in alignment with SLAs.
  • Provide a knowledgeable point of technical escalation for the 2nd line engineers relating to your skillset and assist our Customer Success Managers, who are aligned with our customers and offer guidance on breaking down technical issues into clear communications for non-technical parties.
  • Take long standing or repeat incidents and progress them under ITIL problem management processes to ensure the long-standing reliability for our customer environments.
  • Support our customers through planned release management processes by planning, preparing, conducting, and documenting the process.
  • Align to the On-Call rota as an escalation engineer that will support LIMA customers outside of standard business hours and weekends in a 1-week-in-4 rota.

  • A good communicator at a technical and nontechnical level in written and oral forms

  • A good understanding of the risk/impact of changes made to customer environments
  • Experience managing your own time and responsibilities whilst keeping to strict customer SLAs
  • Experience in working alongside service departments within the standard ITIL framework
