• Maintaining secure backup practices and producing clear implementation / recovery documentation.

• Keeping documentation current and ensuring all work is properly recorded in relevant systems.

• Supporting IT projects and, where needed, coordinating smaller pieces of project delivery.

• Spotting compatibility or deployment risks early and helping prevent disruption.

• Assisting with diagnostics and recovery procedures to restore systems or services when required.
