We're looking to hire a
Infrastructure & Cyber Security Engineer
Salary: DOE
Based in Caerphilly
At excellence IT, we pride ourselves on delivering a full cycle IT service to help organisations improve, innovate and transform; these 3 words form the foundation of our company’s DNA.
We service a wide range of customers across all business sectors. Our offering includes expert IT support, leading IT Infrastructure and Security Solutions, Software Development and IT Training. Cyber Security is at the heart of everything we do. As an IASME Accreditation Body, we also conduct Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essential Plus Audits for our clients.
We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced IT Engineer to join our Technical Team providing both Helpdesk support and Cyber Security consulting.

The role will encompass day to day IT support work, infrastructure project delivery and Cyber Auditing and would be ideal for someone looking to develop their career further. They must be a team player. Some exposure to the Cyber Essential / CE+ Standards would be good, but Excellence IT will put the successful candidate through a formal training programme to become a Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus Certified Auditor.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone looking to take a step away from full time Helpdesk responsibilities and get more specialist experience in the fast-growing Cyber Sector.
Day to day you'll:
Talk clients through a series of actions, either face-to-face or over the phone, to help set up systems or resolve issues
Troubleshoot system and network problems, diagnosing and solving hardware or software faults replace parts as required
Provide support, including procedural documentation and relevant reports
Support the roll-out of new applications

Ability to prioritise and manage many open cases at one time, so your time management skills will be sharp, and you’ll be an effective multi-tasker.

MSP Experience would be an advantage but not essential.

A full Driving Licence and access to own transport are essential to this role.
We foster a supportive environment where sharing knowledge and producing documentation should be second nature. We also invest in technical skills training, allowing you to grow and develop your IT career.
