Produce clear documentation where needed. Develop your knowledge of the wider IT environment, with exposure to infrastructure, core services, and the broader technology stack that supports the studio. Provide offsite support when required, including occasional national and international travel.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly. An approachable, service-focused manner. Strong troubleshooting and fault-finding skills across hardware and software. Self-motivation, adaptability, and a positive, can-do attitude. Experience working independently and as part of a team.

Technical skills: Strong knowledge of PC hardware, including high-performance workstations, peripherals, graphics cards, and drivers. Experience building, diagnosing, and repairing desktop hardware.
