Job Interview Advice

I've never done anything like this before, but was thinking this might be a good opportunity to get feedback from a hardware perspective.

I've been shortlisted, and now have an interview coming up tomorrow for a "do-it-all" network/desktop/server/telephone troubleshooting position.  

They have just sent me this job description, and I wanted to get some feedback. Here's what I know :
 - they have been contracting out support up until now
 - 3 LAN's, 100+ computers
 - 200+ staff
 - staff has very little IT knowledge (the person who wrote this description may not have much IT knowledge - but i'm not sure)

Bit about me: I have 10+ years IT experience (mostly helpdesk-type experience), strong web-development and client/server scripting, strong people/training skills, high aptitude for all things IT. I have at least SOME experience in all areas mentioned below.

If you were preparing for this interview, what questions would you be asking ?

Thanks in advace for your thoughts & comments ...
