About the Team
You’ll join a team where people work with integrity, inclusion, innovation, agility, collaboration and commitment. In practice, that means sharing ownership, solving complex problems together and staying connected to the customer context, the purpose behind the work and how each role contributes to meaningful outcomes.
Our CIO Leidos Support Team plays a vital role in ensuring employees have reliable access to company IT systems and infrastructure. We deliver responsive, high-quality support across desktop, network, and application services, enabling our teams to work securely and efficiently in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Service Desk Analyst to be a key point of contact for customers seeking support with corporate IT systems. You’ll help keep people connected and productive by diagnosing issues, resolving technical problems, and delivering a positive support experience.
- Provide first-line IT support, managing incidents, service requests and access requests through to resolution or escalation.

- Diagnose and troubleshoot hardware, software, network and telecommunications issues, while researching solutions and maintaining accurate support documentation.
- Deliver a positive support experience by keeping users informed, working to agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and providing assistance both over the phone and in person.
This is an onsite role, working five days a week from either from our Moore Street or Wentworth Avenue office in Canberra.
About You

- An understanding of ITIL best-practice principles, or an interest in developing your knowledge in this area.
- A willingness to learn, take on feedback and build your technical capability as part of a collaborative service desk team.
