At ECL we enable the connections that keep New Zealand moving. We are New Zealand’s oldest, most reliable, and trusted infrastructure services business.

The role requires participation in a 6–8-week training program, which runs from 07:30 to 16:00, Monday through Friday.

Our Helpdesk team addresses customer needs by remotely accessing systems and troubleshooting on-site connectivity to ensure quick issue resolution. We support a broad range of technologies, including point-of-sale systems, payment terminals, printers, and networks.
You will be part of a 35+ member team that collaborates closely to deliver exceptional service to our customers.
The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:
A relevant qualification in IT or demonstrate experience working with software and hardware issues.
Client relationship skills.
Solid problem-solving skills.
Top notch written and verbal communication skills.
Focus on continuous improvement.
Be hardworking and reliable and enjoy working as part of a close-knit team.
