Want to take your IT skills to the next level in a global engineering consultancy? Join the Buro Happold Team as an IT Helpdesk Analyst.

This person can be based in either Bath, London, Manchester or Leeds on a hybrid working model.

We’re looking for an experienced IT Helpdesk Analyst to join our UK-based IT team, delivering responsive and effective 2nd line technical support to over 3,000 users globally. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in improving IT service efficiency and supporting knowledge sharing across our Helpdesk team.

In this role you will take ownership of complex incidents escalated from 1st line, help improve service efficiency, and play a key part in sharing knowledge and raising capability across the Helpdesk team.

As an IT Helpdesk Analyst at Buro Happold, you will play a key role in keeping our global business running smoothly by providing high-quality 2nd line support to over 3,000 users. Drawing on your technical expertise and problem-solving skills, you will take ownership of complex incidents, drive service improvements, and help raise capability across the wider IT Helpdesk team.

• Deliver 2nd line support via our ticketing system, phone and remote tools, ensuring escalated issues are progressed and resolved in line with agreed SLAs.
• Perform deeper diagnostics, user management and troubleshooting across Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Active Directory and SharePoint.
• Manage and triage the 2nd line queue, collaborating with Infrastructure, Business Systems and regional support teams where further escalation is needed.
• Support the rollout of system changes and minor configuration tasks under the guidance of senior technical staff.
• Document fixes, contribute to the internal IT knowledge base and help identify recurring issues to drive root cause analysis and service improvements.

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, particularly across Microsoft 365 services, with experience supporting Active Directory, Exchange Online and SharePoint.
• Confidence using an ITSM/ticketing platform (e.g. ServiceNow), with the ability to manage service queues and clearly document issues and resolutions for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience in a 2nd line or similar technical support role, ideally with familiarity with ITIL/ITSM practices.
• Helpful but not essential: exposure to ERP/HR systems (such as Vantagepoint or Unit4), Microsoft 365 Defender, and participation in service improvement initiatives, plus good secondary education (A Levels, HND/C or degree) and any relevant certifications (e.g. CompTIA A+, Microsoft, ITIL Foundation).
