Senior Systems Engineer

Hōhepa is a disability support service in the Hawke’s Bay for people with intellectual disabilities. These people are full of life, and you will be helping them to reach their potential! 

This is truly a community, this role will involve going to different locations, one moment you may be fixing printers, the next you will be fixing a permissions error. You can make this role your own, bringing your own personality and style. This is not a role with all the new gadgets, you will be able to offer practical solutions to everyday problems and use your number 8 wire mentality to creatively fix problems. You will be joining a small IT Team of 3, supporting a wider team of 500 people, operating across the Hawke’s Bay area. Flexibility in the role is needed, to attend functions or support events, we would be open to agreeing a shorter workday (eg 6 hours rather than 8) but do need the successful candidate to work Monday to Friday.

Hōhepa is a unique environment, and great interpersonal skills are a must. You will have access to sensitive and confidential information and so a commitment to respecting confidentiality and privacy is of paramount importance.

Nga taonga kei roto I tou kete matauranga | What you bring:

You will focus on some of our priority areas: User management, M365 development, M365 administration and Teams/SharePoint application support. Networking support, hardware support and telecommunications work also happen regularly. However, you will be highly flexible and willing to turn your hands to whatever need arises – you may be developing a system one minute and crawling around with cables the next!  

We are looking for someone with experience in the below areas:

• Experience and skills in SharePoint administration/development; using Active Directory; supporting mobile devices; Microsoft 365 admin and application support.
• Knowledge and transferable skills in database design, maintenance, and support.
• Experience supporting and maintaining an Azure environment.

• Networking knowledge and familiarity with wireless networking solutions.
• Great interpersonal and communication skills, courtesy and respect.
• Willingness to take on and prioritise whatever task is required, to meet needs.
• A passion for technology and business solutions, willing to share your knowledge and expertise.
• A ‘can do’ attitude!
  

If you are keen to use your experience and skills within a community where we value people – and aim for every life fully lived – we would like to hear from you.
