Rotorua Lakes Council is seeking a motivated and customer-focused Service Desk Support to provide first level advice and service to staff, ensuring requests are handled efficiently and incidents are either resolved or escalated when necessary.
In this role, you will be the first point of contact for a high volume of calls and service requests, staying calm under pressure and delivering a professional, solutions-focused service at all times.

To thrive here, you will have experience applying information systems knowledge to help users resolve issues, along with the ability to adapt to rapidly changing technology. You will hold a relevant IT tertiary qualification or bring proven equivalent experience, with strong troubleshooting skills, excellent communication, and a customer-centric approach.
