At Afinite we're looking for a proactive and positive Service Desk Engineer to join our team and support our customers with valuable IT support for Microsoft 365 environments.

About Us

We're a Leeds-based IT services and consultancy provider dedicated to helping organisations succeed through technology.

Working with clients across the UK, EU, and US, we deliver IT solutions that drive growth, efficiency, and reliability. Known for our technical expertise and transparent, approachable service, we build lasting partnerships with clients based on trust.

Through clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and issue resolution, you’ll play a key part in ensuring our clients' success.

Day-to-day, you will engage customers via email and phone, collaborating to resolve and progress their queries. When necessary, you’ll escalate issues appropriately to ensure a smooth service experience. You’ll also configure and support end-user equipment, manage server and Microsoft 365 infrastructure, and work alongside our business support team to produce client quotes and ensure accurate billing.

This role is about communication and collaboration as much as technical skill. By working with the other members of the team, you can help us provide an excellent service to our customers.
