Operations Command & Control Centre Analyst

Job Description:

Operations Command & Control Centre (OCCC) Analyst

DXC Technology | Erskine, Scotland | Site-based

About the role

At DXC Technology, we help our customers keep their technology and business-critical services running smoothly, securely and reliably.

We're looking for an Operations Command & Control Centre (OCCC) Analyst to join our team based onsite in Erskine. Working as part of a 24/7 operational environment, you'll play an important role in monitoring IT services, identifying potential issues and coordinating the right technical teams to respond quickly and effectively.

The OCCC acts as a central point of coordination across infrastructure, networks, cloud, applications and security services. You'll help maintain a clear picture of service health, ensuring alerts are investigated, incidents are managed appropriately and important information is communicated to the right people.

This is a varied operational role, combining technical monitoring and troubleshooting with incident coordination, communication and problem-solving. It's a great opportunity for someone with an IT support background who enjoys working in a team, taking ownership and developing their skills in a busy, technology-led environment.

Due to the nature of the client environment, eligibility for security clearance is required for this role. To meet the current security requirements, candidates must be sole UK nationals and have lived and worked continuously in the UK for the past five years. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider dual nationals for this position.

What you'll be doing

Monitoring and event management

• Monitor IT infrastructure, networks, cloud platforms, applications and security services using a range of monitoring tools.
• Investigate and validate alerts, identifying potential issues before they develop into wider service disruptions.
• Carry out initial event triage, assess potential impact and determine the appropriate next steps.
• Recognise patterns and link related alerts to help identify service degradation or more serious incidents.
• Manage event queues, ensuring alerts are reviewed and actioned within agreed timescales.

Incident management and coordination

• Log, categorise, prioritise and manage incidents through the IT Service Management (ITSM) platform.
• Engage and coordinate the appropriate technical support and resolver teams, following established procedures and escalation routes.
• Support Major Incident Management activities, helping to bring the right people together when significant service issues occur.
• Maintain ownership of incidents through to an appropriate handover or resolution.
• Keep incident records accurate, clear and up to date.

Communication and operational coordination

• Provide timely and clear updates to technical teams, service management and customers.
• Coordinate communications during service interruptions and major incidents.
• Prepare shift handovers, operational updates and status reports, ensuring important information is passed on effectively.
• Maintain awareness of activity across different IT service areas and support teams.
• Act as a central point of contact during service-affecting events, helping teams stay informed and focused on resolution.

Continuous improvement and innovation

• Identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve how events and incidents are managed.
• Help develop and maintain operational procedures, runbooks and knowledge articles.
• Contribute to service improvement activities through reporting, trend analysis and feedback.
• Look for opportunities to use automation and AI to improve operational efficiency, including exploring the potential of AI agents and new ways of working.

What we're looking for

We're interested in people with a good grounding in IT support or IT operations, who are comfortable investigating technical issues, following processes and communicating with different teams.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Previous experience in IT support, IT operations or a similar technical support environment.
• An understanding of ITIL principles and incident management processes.
• Experience using monitoring or service management tools, ideally including Dynatrace, Nexthink or Xymon.
• A working knowledge of Windows and Linux environments.
• Good troubleshooting and analytical skills, with the ability to investigate alerts and identify potential causes.
• Confidence communicating with technical teams and stakeholders, particularly when incidents need to be escalated or coordinated.
• The ability to stay organised and focused when managing multiple alerts or competing priorities.
• A proactive approach, with an interest in learning new technologies and improving operational processes.

Experience coordinating technical teams, projects or workstreams would be beneficial. We're also keen to hear from people who are interested in how AI and automation can support the future of IT operations.

Working arrangements

This is a fully site-based role at our Erskine location, operating within a 24/7 shift environment to provide continuous service coverage.

• Location: Erskine, Scotland – onsite.
• Working pattern: 12-hour shifts, covering days and nights on a rotating pattern.
• Shift rotation: 3 days / 3 nights / 2 days / 2 nights / 3 days / 3 nights.
