Job summary

We are looking to recruit helpful, friendly, highly motivated, and well organised individuals to be part of our Telephony Team based at Regent House, Torquay. The post offers an excellent opportunity for personal and professional development and would suit someone who desires to develop within IT communications. Key duties of the role include:

  • Administrative tasks such as order processing/tracking/fulfillment and maintenance of directory data
  • Taking ownership of and resolving telephony issues raised through the IT Servicedesk
  • Use of management systems to administer the Cisco telephony and mobile infrastructure
  • Installations/moves of telephony equipment

The role requires excellent customer-facing skills, attention to detail, working under pressure, and strong organisation/administrative skills.
