This vacancy has now expired. Please see similar roles below...

Atkins is part of the SNC Lavalin Group of companies, the delivery of its IT is via a function called Group IS which is organised as a global operation with significant presence in India. Group IS has developed an operating model for 2020 to revolutionise the way IT services are provided to the company, moving from a ‘Business as Usual’ focus to an organisation driven by Business Value. Key concepts include: transitioning to digital products, adopting agile delivery approaches across the organisation, leveraging cloud services, and applying focus to supporting company project bids and delivery.

The Support Operations team supports the objectives – included below in parentheses () – that will achieve this vision, by:
• providing an enhanced - faster and business-engaged - service to Atkins (IS2020 Transformation)
• improving customer satisfaction (Operational Excellence)
• reducing cost by containing support activity within Global Services (Commercial Success)

The team is part of the evolving and dynamic User and Technology Support group, which currently supports around 18,000 staff globally.

Purpose of the team/role

Primary function
• providing L1 telephone based technical support to secure environment users
• owning, investigating, analysing, troubleshooting and resolving incidents raised by secure networks staff
• making sure knowledge and skills are transferred to L1 to increase first line fix rate and reduce cost to the Atkins business – an example of this would be managing and resolving issues logged online
• ensuring technical documentation and knowledgebase articles are produced where appropriate
• engage with continual service improvement initiatives

Additional responsibilities
• supporting the wider Support Operations Team in owning, investigating, analysing, troubleshooting and resolving incidents elevated to the team
• requirements are evolving based on the expansion of the Secure Networks Environment – therefore, individuals may need to undertake additional tasks - to be defined

Support Operations Analysts – Secure Networks manage incidents logged by staff who transcend both secure networks and Atkins Computing Environment (ACE). Support Operations Analysts – Secure Networks follow documented troubleshooting processes and workflows for known issues. These are provided by subject matter experts, product/service managers and vendors to support the satisfactory resolution of incidents in the Atkins Secure Networks Environment and ACE. In other cases, it is necessary to take the initiative to provide workarounds and fixes based on troubleshooting experience.

The wider Support Operations team employs enhanced troubleshooting skills, has fewer SLA-related time constraints - although it does adhere to its own KPIs. The team is expected to escalate to L3 when documentation is insufficient to complete a task or does not resolve an incident. It maintains a ‘runbook’ – the Knowledgebase - for immediate resolutions and routine procedures which is populated and utilised by all Group IS teams and the Atkins business.

The removal of single points of failure and known errors, and automation wherever possible, are areas of focus. A ‘fix once’ approach – which includes employing problem management processes and techniques to support root cause analysis - to ensure incidents do not happen again or in the first place is key, ensuring an error-free environment or, worst case, one where errors have little or no impact on end users and their productivity.

The Support Operations Analysts – Secure Networks will operate on rotation from 0800 to 1800 (UK time), Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays.
This role has the potential to cover midnight shift which could be upto 2400(UK time)

Key deliverables/responsibilities
• Aim for 100% customer satisfaction and client-focused delivery
• Work flexibly within a rota covering the core hours of Secure Networks
• Meet KPIs, i.e. time to answer calls and first line fix rates
• Meet or exceed SLA for Incident and Request Management as documented
• Manage incidents and requests according to defined SLAs and ensure 100% adherence to incident and request best practice guidelines
• Liaise with Secure Environment personnel prior to release of a new technology to ensure support readiness
• Ensure new first and second line fixes are documented, fed back and incorporated into the Knowledgebase with a view to increasing L1 fix rates
• Ensure responses to high priority incidents, escalations and support of the major incident process
