• High level of experience in system administration of Windows and/or Linux based systems (preferably using the command line, not a GUI)
• Ability to identify and resolve incidents at their root cause
• Proactively work to prevent incidents before they occur
• Able to work as a team or individually on complex tasks with the desire to become a subject matter expert
• Maintaining policy, standards and procedures for a service team

• Excellent customer service skills
• Desirable qualifications:
  • Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)
  • NZQA Level 4 or higher Diploma in Computing
  • Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA)

As well as interesting work you won't find elsewhere, we also offer a range of benefits including ongoing professional development, flexible working hours, free health insurance, on-site gym and fitness facilities, and never having to work from home!
