This role sits within Client Services, a vertical of Digital Engineering Services (DES), the organisation’s core infrastructure function. DES is responsible for delivering secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure capabilities across the enterprise, including Storage, Network, Platform, SOC, and Service Management. Within this, Client Services team focuses on end-user-facing technologies, covering Desktop Services, Application Delivery and Messaging & Collaboration.

The AskIT / Onsite Desktop Support Engineer provides frontline technical support for end-user devices and workplace technology, ensuring employees can work efficiently with minimal disruption. The role is responsible for resolving hardware, software, and Microsoft 365 issues, supporting device lifecycle activities, and delivering high-quality end user experience across office locations.

The Desktop Support Analyst is a key member of the onsite AskIT team, providing face-to-face technical support and acting as the primary onsite point of contact for end users requiring IT assistance. While an offsite Service Desk handles remote and centralised support, this role exists to deliver hands-on, in-person engagement. The Desktop Support Analyst works in close partnership with the offsite Service Desk and other IT teams to ensure seamless end-to-end support.

Responsibilities extend beyond break/fix support to include workstation deployments, onboarding and offboarding assistance, endpoint standards enforcement, and proactive identification of recurring issues. Success in this role is defined by technical effectiveness, collaboration, and the ability to represent the AskIT team as a trusted, reliable presence within the business.

As a highly visible, onsite presence, the Desktop Support Analyst plays a key role in shaping the end-user perception and sentiment toward IT services. Through professionalism, empathetic, and solution-based interactions, the Analyst builds trust with employees and promotes confidence in the AskIT team and the broader IT organisation.

This role actively listens to user concerns, manages expectations, and communicates clearly throughout the support process, ensuring users feel supported and informed. The Desktop Support Analyst also contributes to continuous improvement by identifying recurring pain points, sharing user feedback with IT leadership and the offsite Service Desk, and supporting initiatives aimed at improving service quality, adoption, and satisfaction.

Positive user engagement and customer experience are considered core outcomes of the role, alongside technical resolution and operational efficiency.
