Full-timeReady to join an MSP where you can actually learn, grow, and make an impact from day one?Our AU MSP Client is looking for a
Level 1.5 Service Desk Engineer to join their team. They're a managed service provider built to be a true
single point of contact for all things IT, from ordering and setting up equipment to supporting cloud environments and ongoing IT operations. They work fully remotely, using strong collaboration routines and tools to keep everything moving smoothly.
This role is designed to take ownership of first-touch support and ticket flow, creating breathing space for our Level 2 and Level 3 engineers to focus on escalations and project work. If you enjoy resolving issues, staying organised, and working in a fast-paced MSP environment, you’ll fit right in
What You’ll Do
You’ll be the kind of person who:
- Owns first-touch support and confidently handles Level 1 to Level 1.5 requests end-to-end
- Works tickets efficiently while maintaining quality notes and clear customer updates
- Jumps onto devices remotely to fix issues proactively (often without needing outbound calls)
- Logs and tracks time accurately (visibility matters, not micromanagement)
- Escalates smartly when issues go beyond a reasonable troubleshooting window, while still learning along the way
- Communicates blockers early instead of letting tickets stall for days
Core Responsibilities (What You'll Work On)
- Triage incoming tickets via phone and email
- Provide remote Level 1 / Level 1.5 IT support across multiple client environments
- Update ticket statuses properly and follow defined workflows and priorities
- Track time against tasks/tickets with accuracy and discipline
- Use remote access tools to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly
- Support checklists and recurring operational tasks (e.g., backup checks, monitoring, client health checks)
- Contribute to documentation improvements and knowledge sharing (reducing “tribal knowledge”)
- Assist with project tasks where appropriate (based on capability and interest)
Your Technical Toolkit
We’re looking for strong fundamentals and the ability to work across a variety of client setups.
Core Skills / Experience
- Windows 11 support
- Microsoft 365 (user support + basic admin exposure)
- Troubleshooting desktops/laptops and common end-user issues
- Basic networking fundamentals (connectivity, access, common LAN/Wi-Fi issues)
- Comfort working in a ticket-driven environment
Tools Exposure (Strong Advantage)
- ConnectWise (ticketing/time tracking)
- NinjaRMM (or similar RMM tools)
What Success Looks Like
- High visibility of your work via ticket updates + accurate time logging
- Consistent productivity, with a target of 7.5–8.5 hours of accountable time/day
- Strong ticket throughput while keeping quality, notes, and customer communication intact
- Ownership mindset: if you take the ticket, you own the outcome
Requirements
What You Bring
- 3+ years overall IT support experience (aligned with Level 1 / 1.5 support)
- Excellent English communication (written and verbal)
- Strong organisation, accountability, and comfort working independently in a remote setup
- Ability to manage multiple tickets and priorities without losing control of follow-through
Highly Favourable (Nice-to-Haves)
- 12+ months MSP experience (strong preference)
- Microsoft and/or Cisco certifications (entry-level is fine)
- Familiarity with time-based service delivery and SLA-driven environments
- Confidence working across many clients (not just one internal environment)
Work Style & Team Collaboration
- Fully remote team (you won’t be “the only remote person”)
- Daily team catch-ups and priority alignment
- Collaboration through internal tools and shared communication channels
- Clear documentation, templates, and checklists to support you as you ramp up
