About Eipsys
Eipsys is a friendly, close knit MSP based in Braintree, supporting businesses across the UK. We are a small team where everyone knows each other, and we work as a team.
Joining our team you will get real variety from day one, direct access to senior engineers who will take the time to teach you, and the chance for you to make a visible difference. You will see how the whole business works, be trusted with real responsibility early, and have a clear path to grow as we grow.
The Role
We are looking for a Junior IT Support Engineer to join our small, supportive help desk team. Ideally you will have around 1 year's experience in an IT support role and be ready to build on that foundation, answering client calls, working tickets, and stepping up into more complex 1st and 2nd line work with senior engineers alongside you to mentor and guide you.
If you are eager to learn, comfortable talking to people, and love the idea of variety across lots of different clients and technologies, we would love to hear from you.
Open to an apprenticeship? For an exceptional candidate with the right attitude, aptitude and drive, we would also consider bringing you in on a formal IT support apprenticeship a great way to earn while you gain nationally recognised qualifications.
