The Opportunity

• ​​​​Supportive, rewarding, inclusive and truly flexible environment.
• Innovative and collaborative workplace with fantastic flexibility
• Join CSIRO - Australia's premier research organisation

The role of Technical Services staff in CSIRO is to provide support for scientific research in a diverse range of laboratory and field situations across a range of different research projects. This support consists of the application of accepted technical practices and the development of new practices. The work is usually carried out as a member of a centralised service.

The On-Site Support team is part of CSIRO Information Management and Technology (IMT) and is responsible for the delivery of effective and timely IT support within CSIRO.

IMT's On-Site Support 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.

On-Site Support is the secondary point of contact for IMT services within CSIRO. It's main functions are:

1. On-Site Support: Hands-on support for tasks requiring physical assistance to resolve an issue or fulfil a request.
2. Remote Support: Remote incident resolution and request assistance using different IMT tools. Support scope includes staff based across Australia and over-seas.

On-Site Support staff members are expected to actively contribute to the quality of the service delivered to clients. The successful applicant will require 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. The successful applicant will also possess outstanding organisational, interpersonal, and communication skills.

This role 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. Through demonstrated client focus, the incumbent 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.

Your duties will include:

• Deliver IT support to provide resolution in a timely manner to problems or requests that require On Site attendance. Examples include:

• Deployment of PC desktops, laptops, LCD monitors, printers and other IT related equipment.
• Network Port patching.
• Software fault assistance.
• Deliver remote IT support to provide both response and resolution in a timely manner to incidents or requests.
• Develop and maintain relationships contributing to virtual teams across the CSIRO IMT model to ensure the delivery of best practice service.
• Contribute positively to stimulate and promote a team approach and develop sound working relationships with clients on a day-to-day basis as a representative of CSIRO IMT.
• Develop, maintain and expand individual skills which are of benefit to the services delivered by CSIRO IMT and that contribute to the skill set of the Client Services Delivery Team.
• Adhere to the spirit and practice of CSIRO's Values, Health, Safety and Environment plans and policies, Diversity initiatives and Zero Harm goals.
• Respond courteously and efficiently to client requests, maintain clear communication regarding mutual expectations and monitor client satisfaction.
