Purpose of the Role The EUC Engineer is the frontline of End User Computing service delivery at their assigned Lesaka Group office, providing hands-on deskside and remote support to employees for hardware, software, Microsoft 365 and connectivity issues. The role resolves the majority of day-to-day incidents and service requests within agreed SLAs, and escalates issues requiring deeper technical resolution to the Senior EUC Engineer. Inherent Requirement: This role requires the manual handling of IT hardware (laptops, monitors, peripherals) as part of device deployment, office moves and desk-side support. Reasonable accommodation will be considered on request. Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs) Service Delivery & SLA • First-Line Resolution: Provide deskside and remote support, resolving hardware, software, Microsoft 365 and connectivity issues within agreed SLA timeframes. • Ticket Discipline: Log, update and close tickets accurately in the ITSM platform, recording clear issue descriptions, resolution steps and time entries. • Escalation: Escalate incidents beyond L1/L2 scope to the Senior EUC Engineer with a clear handover note covering steps already taken and relevant diagnostic detail. Endpoint Management & Compliance • Device Provisioning: Deploy, configure and collect laptops, desktops and peripherals following the standard provisioning checklist, Intune enrolment process and asset-tagging procedure. • Compliance Adherence: Operate within group endpoint compliance requirements — do not modify device security settings, bypass Intune policies or install unapproved software. • Security Triage: Recognise and report endpoint security tool alerts (SentinelOne, Netskope), escalating to the Senior EUC Engineer — who owns the SecOps relationship — rather than acting on these owned platforms directly; defined critical alerts follow the documented escalation runbook. Asset & Inventory • Stock Control: Maintain the physical organisation of the IT store, spare equipment and peripheral inventory at the site, flagging low stock levels to the EUC Team Lead. • Asset Records: Ensure all hardware movements are tagged and recorded accurately to support the site asset register. Onboarding & Projects • Onboarding Readiness: Prepare and deliver configured devices on or before a new employee's first day, following the standard readiness checklist. • Project Support: Support device-refresh cycles, office moves and bulk onboarding events under the direction of the Senior EUC Engineer and EUC Team Lead. Continuous Improvement • Knowledge Contribution: Capture resolution steps in the knowledge base and surface recurring issues to the Senior EUC Engineer for root-cause attention — fixing the pattern, not just the ticket. Skills, Experience, and Qualifications Educational & Professional Qualifications • Matric (Grade 12, NQF 4) required; IT Diploma (NQF 5 or above) preferred. • Learners completing a formal MICT SETA learnership progress into this role on demonstrated competence. • CompTIA A+ or equivalent hardware/support certification preferred. • Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900) advantageous. • CompTIA N+ and Security+ advantageous, not required. • ITIL Foundation advantageous, not required. Technical Experience • Support Background: 1–3 years in IT support, helpdesk or deskside support preferred; entry-level candidates with relevant qualifications and demonstrated aptitude will be considered. • Microsoft Proficiency: Practical troubleshooting across Windows 10/11 and Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive); workplace experience required. • Apple Basics: Awareness of managed macOS; performs first-line triage and escalates Mac issues to the Senior EUC Engineer. • Endpoint Basics: Basic exposure to any MDM/UEM platform (e.g. Intune) — device enrolment and compliance concepts; platform-specific training is provided on hire. • Networking Basics: Wi-Fi connectivity, VPN client troubleshooting and printer setup. • Process Adherence: Ability to follow provisioning checklists and asset-tagging processes accurately; familiarity with ITSM ticketing. Industry Knowledge • Regulated Environments: Exposure to financial services, fintech or a regulated environment advantageous. • Compliance Awareness: Basic awareness of endpoint compliance and data-handling responsibilities (SOX-ITGC, POPIA) as they apply at device level. Behavioural Competencies • Customer-First Attitude: Approaches every interaction with patience and a genuine desire to help. • Reliability: Consistent and punctual — frontline support depends on presence. • Willingness to Learn: Takes feedback from senior staff constructively and actively develops technical skill. • Honest Escalation: Honest about the limits of their knowledge; escalates appropriately rather than experimenting on production devices. • Professional Conduct: Presents professionally and treats employees, peers and site visitors with courtesy and respect at all times. Key Relationships Internal • EUC Team Lead: Direct manager. • Senior EUC Engineer: Technical guidance, escalation and mentoring. • Learners & Graduates: Peer relationship; expected to support learners at the site. • Endpoint Management (within Group EUC): Device compliance queries and asset register updates. • Site Employees: Primary service recipients. • HR / People & Culture: New-employee device readiness coordination. External • Technology Vendors: Limited — primarily warranty swap-out coordination under EUC Team Lead direction.
