The Position

CSIRO Information Management and Technology (IMT) are seeking talented IT-minded people to join the Client Services Delivery (CSD) team to aid in the delivery of effective and timely IT support within CSIRO.

IMT's CSD group is responsible for providing effective and timely IT support to all of CSIRO, and has staff at most CSIRO sites across Australia. Services are delivered through a mixture of physical and remote channels, depending on the location of the site and the type of support required.

CSD is the primary point of contact for all IMT services in CSIRO. Its main functions are:

  1. Service Desk: The first point of call for IMT's clients, responsible for logging and management of all calls, telephone support, call resolution using remote desktop technology, and escalation to second- and third-level support for resolution where necessary.
  2. On Site Support: Hands-on support for tasks requiring physical assistance to solve a problem or fulfil a request.
  3. Incident Management: managing the response to major incidents and collaborating with IMT's technical teams to diagnose and resolve them.

You must have an excellent customer service ethic, strong IT knowledge and skills, and be able to provide an effective and efficient response to incidents and requests spanning a broad physical and technical range and with varying levels of complexity. You will also have outstanding organisational, interpersonal, and communication skills.

You will actively contribute to IMT's service direction, participating in applying adaptive and innovative solutions to complex and/or ambiguous issues across one or more service and/or technical streams. Your demonstrated client focus will gain the support of key stakeholders, and contribute to integrating IMT technical solutions with business requirements to achieve CSIRO's strategic and organisational objectives.
