About the Team

You’ll join a team where people work with integrity, inclusion, innovation, agility, collaboration and commitment. In practice, that means sharing ownership, solving complex problems together and staying connected to the customer context, the purpose behind the work and how each role contributes to meaningful outcomes.

Our CIO Leidos Support Team plays a vital role in ensuring employees have reliable access to company IT systems and infrastructure. We deliver responsive, high-quality support across desktop, network, and application services, enabling our teams to work securely and efficiently in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Service Desk Analyst to be a key point of contact for customers seeking support with corporate IT systems. You’ll help keep people connected and productive by diagnosing issues, resolving technical problems, and delivering a positive support experience.

• Provide first-line IT support, managing incidents, service requests and access requests through to resolution or escalation.
• Support day-to-day account administration, including password resets and account unlocks.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot hardware, software, network and telecommunications issues, while researching solutions and maintaining accurate support documentation.
• Deliver a positive support experience by keeping users informed, working to agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and providing assistance both over the phone and in person.

This is an onsite role, working five days a week from either from our Moore Street or Wentworth Avenue office in Canberra.

About You

You don’t need to know everything from day one. We can teach you the technical aspects of the role. What matters is that you’re curious, eager to learn, open to feedback, and comfortable working collaboratively with others.

This could be a great opportunity if you’re looking to start your career in IT or build on your existing experience. Bring a willingness to learn and a customer-focused approach, and we’ll invest the time and support to help you develop your technical capability and grow your career.

• Clear communication skills and a proactive approach to resolving customer enquiries and technical issues.
• Experience with, or exposure to, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Intune and Windows operating systems.
• An understanding of ITIL best-practice principles, or an interest in developing your knowledge in this area.
• A willingness to learn, take on feedback and build your technical capability as part of a collaborative service desk team.

Applicants must be Australian Citizens and willing to obtain and hold a Baseline AGSVA security clearance. 

Advantageous Skills & Experience

• Previous service desk experience would be advantageous.
• An IT-related degree or certification, or currently working towards one, would also be advantageous.
