Meet Byron Mahoney

Diamond IT actively recruits the best talent in the market. Our staff are capable individuals with solution-based offerings to instigate. 

We'd like you to meet our newest team member, Byron Mahoney, who recently joined our team as a Tier 1 Support Analyst.

 

Tell us a bit about your role as Tier 1 Support Analyst at Diamond IT?

I assist people in their technical issues, provide answers to their questions and guide people in learning best practices while using technology.

 

Tell us a bit about your background?

I’ve been a computer nerd for as long as I can remember, since the days of DOS (disk operating systems). Having done labouring jobs after leaving school, I finally got myself to TAFE to learn the more practical skills for the IT business. Having completed that, I worked for myself until I landed an opportunity in Sydney. After working in IT in Sydney for a number of years, I missed the rural lifestyle of the Hunter Valley and moved back, and found myself at Diamond IT.

Why did you choose a career with Diamond IT? 

Because I honestly couldn’t see myself doing anything else that would be as engaging and challenging as IT!

 

What is your favourite piece of technology? 

Five and a quarter inch floppy discs. I have lots of fond memories using them as hand fans in summer sitting in front of my first home PC. More recently, the engineering (that’s been made public) of the F-35’s stationed at Willamtown RAAF base is absolutely amazing.

 

When you’re not at work, where would we find you? 

BBQing and/or camping with the family. Hanging out with mates playing Battletech, Warhammer 40,000 or pub chess. Studying IT in my den.

 

We are always on the lookout for talented team members

Our mission is to help you succeed. This isn’t just about our customers, we want our staff to be the best they can be too.

If you’re passionate about delivering technology solutions and enjoy working with like-minded people, we’d love to hear from you. You can learn more about our current vacancies and apply on our careers page.
