Skype for Business Engineer (On-site)

Location: Based in London on-site

About the role

Modality On-Site Support Engineers are responsible for providing support services to the client in parallel with the Modality Service Desk. They provide advice and guidance and complete service requests, working with the Client's internal Unified Communications (UC) team and other support teams.

The On-Site Support Engineer provides support at a 2nd/3rd line level. 1st line support (user adoption, account setup, ‘how-to' questions, initial diagnosis, etc.) is provided by the Client, whilst Incident/Problem tickets are logged with and resolved by the Modality Service Desk. When a request is UC support related and is not resolvable by the On-Site Support Engineer, the ticket may be escalated to senior Modality Service Desk engineers for assistance or for resolution.

There is a general resource element to the work and the engineer may be asked to assist in non-UC and non-support related activities at the Client's discretion.

There is a requirement for some out of hours activities (weekends and evenings).

Key Responsibilities will include but not limited to:

Handling and attempting to resolve support requests from the Client

Understanding client requirements, collecting data, delivering analysis and problem resolution

Monitoring the customer environment and initiating actions to resolve issues identified

System administration

Microsoft Server, Unified Communications and related 3rd party application patching and/or post-patching checks

Liaising with 3rd party vendors on a technical level where required

Documentation of resolutions and root causes into the Modality Service Desk knowledge base
