  • Monitoring and Analytics: Experience with monitoring tools (e.g. PRTG and Zabbix) to proactively identify and address issues.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: Showcase strong troubleshooting skills, with the ability to diagnose, resolve and document complex issues effectively.

Additional desirable skills:

  • Local government background: Experience working in or for Local Government in an Application support environment.
  • Project Management: Basic project management skills to coordinate tasks, timelines, and resources effectively, especially when working on customer onboarding projects.
