Job summary

ONR is not a Civil Service department, however, we are an arms length body of Department of Work and Pensions.

About ONR

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is responsible for the regulation of nuclear safety and security across the UK. Our mission is to provide efficient and effective regulation of the nuclear industry, holding it to account on behalf of the public.

As part of its 2025 strategy ONR is committed to being a modern and transparent regulator, delivering trusted outcomes and value. We are making substantial investments in new digital technologies and skills to enhance our regulatory processes and management of information.

About the Role

To provide 1st and 2nd line support for all IT issues raised within the service management tool, and to triage where appropriate, under an ONR hybrid IT support model. Service Desk Analysts are crucial to a reliable and successful IT operation of our organisation across all ONR office locations and associated data centres, working in conjunction with a number of Managed Service Providers. The role will perform tasks such as receiving requests and incidents from customers, triaging using the appropriate ITSM service tool and trying to resolve end user queries. In addition, an understanding of when to escalate issues to senior members of the team is fundamental part of the role.

Principal Responsibilities

  • To provide first and second line service desk support to staff for hardware, software, audio-visual, multi-functional devices, and telephony equipment
  • To assist with the purchase, setting up, maintenance and repair of computers, audio-visual equipment, computer-linked equipment, and computer-related equipment
  • To install and configure software applications.
  • To help maintain appropriate stock levels of computer consumables and accessories and to raise purchase orders as necessary ensuring that value for money is obtained.
  • Field and triage calls from end users within a service desk and own the issue through to resolution.
  • Escalate service and incidents using the appropriate methods.
  • Support staff and the wider ITDD team with the use of new and existing technologies.
  • Ensure the availability of IT Services, systems, and associated business critical resources.
  • Ensure consistent housekeeping checks are in place and associated records are maintained.
  • Assist in producing and maintaining IT statistics, reports, checklists, and other relevant technical documentation to the relevant standard.
