About the Role:
Bristol is renowned for its engineering heritage and dynamic innovation, and at Minda Kubota Engineering & Farm Solutions Ltd, we apply that same high standard to modern agricultural machinery and tech infrastructure. We believe that reliable operations start with rock-solid internal tech. We are looking for an IT Support Technician who can take ownership of our day-to-day desktop and network systems.

- Growth: You will have access to ongoing certification support and training programs to keep your technical and systems skills sharp.
Key Responsibilities:
- Helpdesk Support Ownership: Act as the first line of defense for internal tickets. Provide prompt, effective support for hardware and software issues across all company departments.
- Systems Administration: Manage Microsoft 363 accounts, set up new users in Active Directory/Entra ID, and maintain system access permissions safely and securely.
- Hardware & Network Maintenance: Deploy, configure, and maintain PC desktop hardware, mobile devices, local area networks (LAN/Wi-Fi), and peripherals across our office and facility.
- User Support & Onboarding: Don't just patch issues; empower staff. Guide users through software workflows and ensure smooth IT onboarding for new team members.
- Asset & Documentation Management: Maintain precise records of technical inventory, licenses, and network configurations to keep IT operations organized and transparent.
What We Are Looking For:
- Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience in IT Support, Helpdesk, or Desktop Support roles.
- Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of Windows 10/11 operating systems, Microsoft 363 suite administration, and standard enterprise computer hardware.
- Tooling & Networking: Familiarity with network diagnostics (TCP/IP, DNS, VPN setups) and ticketing software ecosystems.
- Communication Skills: Clear, professional verbal and written English skills are required to assist non-technical team members with patience and clarity.
- Mindset: You are a pragmatic problem solver. You know how to triage urgent technical issues during critical operations while keeping a positive, supportive attitude.
