Description

Our Role

The HopgoodGanim IT function is transforming, and with most of our 1st level support being provided by our technology partners, this role focuses on service coordination, governance and providing personalised on-site support.

As the on-site representative for technology (IT and AV) in our Perth office, you’ll ensure employees receive effective, timely technology support, acting as the conduit between our people and our support providers, whether that be internal or external. Being the face of IT on the ground, you’ll naturally roll up your sleeves and provide hands-on support where it makes sense, particularly during the transition.

This is a standalone Perth-based role, working onsite five days per week. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Act as the on-site contact for technology assistance, including equipment provisioning and conference room AV setup
  • Ensure support requests are logged, triaged and followed through to resolution, escalating where needed
  • Track vendor responsiveness and service performance, escalating delays to the Service Delivery Manager
  • Draft clear staff communications during incidents and outages, and help coordinate their resolution
  • Provide proactive updates to staff on IT issues and changes, and feed business feedback back to IT
  • Coordinate onboarding, offboarding and access requests with our support partners
  • Maintain IT/AV asset registers, device allocation records and a pool of spare equipment
  • Identify recurring service issues and help develop improved processes and support workflows

About you

You’ll have 2–3 years’ experience in IT support, service coordination or helpdesk environments, ideally within legal or professional services, and possess:

  • A solid understanding of ITSM principles, including incident, request and problem management
  • Experience working with third-party IT vendors or MSPs, including monitoring SLAs and escalating performance issues
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical issues into plain language
  • Demonstrated ability to juggle competing priorities and follow issues through to resolution
  • Proficiency with ITSM or ticketing platforms (e.g. ManageEngine, HALO or equivalent)
  • High attention to detail across asset registers, documentation and service records
  • A proactive, service-oriented approach with genuine commitment to a positive end-user experience
  • ITIL Foundation certification, AV support exposure, familiarity with Microsoft 365/Entra ID, and multi-site support experience will all be highly regarded
