The Role

  • Local Timaru role, client work close to home
  • Small, tight-knit team at a respected Southern MSP
  • Health insurance subsidy, on-call pay, training and more

The Opportunity
About the company
Our client is a well-established MSP with about 90 staff across the South Island and a strong reputation built over many years. The Timaru office is a small team of seven, including engineers, managers and admin. It’s a team where people back each other, work hard and keep the banter going.
The role
You’ll look after Timaru’s local business clients, splitting your time between the office and client sites. We’re open to intermediate and senior engineers, and the scope of the role will match your experience.
  • Support and maintain clients’ Microsoft environments and networks
  • Deliver on-site and remote support, projects and improvements
  • Build strong, trusted relationships with local clients
  • Senior applicants will also mentor engineers and lead on technical direction
  • Take part in a shared on-call roster of about 40 engineers, roughly one week in six, paid per on-call period whether you get called out or not
What you’ll bring
  • Experience at a New Zealand MSP (essential)
  • Solid Microsoft and networking skills
  • A confident, professional manner with clients
  • Clear written and spoken communication
  • Leadership or mentoring experience, and familiarity with Halo PSA (nice to have)
  • A no-nonsense attitude. This team is direct and says what it thinks, so you’ll need thick skin and a good sense of humour.
What’s on offer
  • Competitive salary, based on experience, plus KiwiSaver
  • Subsidised Southern Cross health insurance
  • On-call payment, mileage reimbursement, parking and a clothing allowance
  • Training and development if you want to grow
  • A stable local company where hard work gets noticed
This is an office-based role, Monday to Friday, at the Timaru office. You must have the right to live and work in New Zealand.
