Chapman Tripp is one of NZ’s largest law firms, we work on the country's biggest and most complex transactions, disputes and projects — and we know that great legal work depends on great people behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Service Desk Support Analyst to join our friendly Christchurch office. If you're calm under pressure, genuinely enjoy helping people, and want to build a career in technology within a firm that invests in its people, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

Day to day, you will:

• Respond to service requests and technical support queries in person, by phone or by email
• Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues assigned to the service desk
• Provision laptops, user accounts and related hardware for new starters and refreshes
• Log all interactions and document resolutions in our ITSM system

• Take part in the on-call, out-of-hours roster (every four weeks)
• Get involved in wider IT project work and support the team in delivering technology services firm-wide

About you

You'll bring humour, excellent communication skills, and the ability to stay calm while juggling shifting priorities. You're adaptable, a natural problem-solver, and comfortable responding to different people and situations as they come up. You'll also have:

• 2–5 years' relevant service desk experience
• ITIL certification or equivalent qualifications
• Relevant vendor certifications desirable (MCP, MCSE or similar)
• Strong working knowledge of Windows 10, MS 365/Teams, and Active Directory user administration
• A solid grasp of LAN/VPN/TCP-IP networking essentials, desktop security, and document management concepts
• Security awareness of malware, phishing, ransomware and scams
• A good understanding of AV technologies (Teams/Zoom Rooms and Open UC)
