Support Technician After-Hours

Lets not pretend the hours are conventional.

While most people are winding down, youre spinning up. Youre the one who catches the "urgent" Slack message at 9pm AU time before a client even finishes typing it. Youve made peace with an unusual schedule, and honestly? You kind of like it.

If thats you, keep reading.

Were First Focus, Australias #1 MSP (Cloud Tango says so, 9 years running). With 360+ staff across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines, we support some genuinely great clients and we do it well. You can read more about us and our values at https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/

This isnt a solo afterhours grind. Youll be part of a dedicated afterhours team, with a clear roster, proper escalation paths, and teammates who actually answer when you ping them. Structured, supported, and never left hanging at 2am with a P1 and no backup.

What Youll Be Doing

• Handling tickets across Microsoft AD, Azure, M365, and Exchange while Australia sleeps
• Troubleshooting desktops, servers, firewalls, and networks across a varied client base
• Owning the queue during your shift: triaging, resolving, and escalating with good judgement
• Documenting incidents properly so the day team doesnt start their morning with mystery
• Supporting cloud platforms: Azure AD, Entra, HyperV, Citrix, Veeam
• Being the calm voice clients hear when somethings gone sideways after hours
  
  
  

Requirements


What Youll Bring

• 2+ years of MSP or helpdesk experience because youve handled enough incidents to know what "urgent" really means
• Solid grounding in Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and Windows Server

• Clear, confident written and spoken English. Concise updates matter more at midnight
