IT Support Technician – Liverpool (On-site) | Up to £32,000 + Benefits
I’m working with one of the fastest‑growing retailers in the UK. They’re building their IT support function in‑house for the first time, moving away from external support to create a dedicated IT team supporting 120+ colleagues across the business. This is a fantastic opportunity to be one of the founding members of their IT function and genuinely shape the role as it evolves.

- Setting up new starters with hardware and user accounts (onboarding/offboarding processes)
- Wi‑Fi troubleshooting, network connectivity and basic network support
- Hardware setup, maintenance and troubleshooting across end‑user computing devices
- Managing and resolving support tickets through the incident management system
- Supporting cloud‑based systems including Microsoft 365 and SharePoint
- Providing application support for their ERP system (NetSuite) and e‑commerce platforms
- Assisting with rolling out updates and maintenance to applications and equipment

This role is ideal for:
- An IT support technician who isn’t seeing real progression at their current role
- Someone transitioning into IT from a customer‑service or retail background
- An apprentice ready for their next step up
- Anyone who thrives in a fast‑paced, people‑focused environment
- Excellent communication skills, supporting colleagues at all levels
- Basic understanding of IT systems, troubleshooting and end‑user computing
- Problem‑solving abilities and staying calm under pressure
- Enthusiasm to learn and develop technical knowledge
- Comfortable working in a dynamic, rapidly growing business
Nice to have:
- Experience in e‑commerce or retail environments
- Familiarity with cloud‑based systems (Microsoft 365, SharePoint)
- Knowledge of ERP systems (NetSuite), warehouse management systems or e‑commerce platforms
- Understanding of network devices (switches, routers, firewalls)
- Awareness of IT and cyber‑security best practices
What’s in it for you?
- Competitive salary up to £32,000 DOE
- Performance‑based bonus
- 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays + your birthday off
- Company pension
- Life insurance
- Enhanced maternity & paternity leave
- Benefits platform
- Free parking on‑site + free refreshments
- Smart casual dress code
