The Desktop team is supported by other Internal support teams, the Endpoint Manager and via external suppliers utilising support contracts. You will frequently be the first point of contact for enquiries and will determine the extent to which they are authorised to give advice. Much of the work is governed by set procedures and standards and thus you will be free to make appropriate decisions within the procedures set, like deciding the technique or method to be used to resolve an incident in the quickest way and minimising the impact but always within the boundaries of the freedom allowed by the specific operational processes and procedures applicable. You will suggest ways to resolve incidents and implement desktop changes in a better way (quicker and minimising the impact) by drafting procedures within the remit of the role, subject to further review and approval by colleagues and the Team Leader. You will assess the impact and urgency of incidents and changes assigned to you and escalate it if required (functional and hierarchical). You will assess the risk involved when performing technical interventions on desktop hardware and software (i.e. data loss). Unless the Endpoint Manager assigns work in a different way, DSAs arrange their own daily schedule for attending calls / service requests based on agreed resolution times and efficiency criteria.
