💻Who You Are

You're a curious, adaptable IT professional who thrives in fast-paced environments and loves learning new technologies. You take ownership of challenges, communicate clearly with technical users, and find satisfaction in seeing systems perform flawlessly because of your work. You're proactive, eager to grow, and ready to make an impact from day one.

Work Type

• Fully On-Site – 5 days a week in office (on-call rotation)
• Location: Toronto, ON
• Vacancy Type: This role is a newly created position

What You’ll Do (Your Superpowers)

• Provide Tier 1–2 technical support through ServiceNow, supporting enterprise and SMB clients
• Deliver a white-glove, IT concierge experience by proactively engaging clients via phone and ticketing systems to fully understand issues before troubleshooting
• Take full ownership of client issues from first contact to resolution, demonstrating urgency, accountability, and follow-through
• Troubleshoot issues across Windows Server, Microsoft 365, networking, virtualization, storage, and security
• Collaborate with senior engineers and pod leads on escalations and complex troubleshooting
• Manage a high daily ticket volume in a fast-paced MSP environment, with peak activity typically in the mornings
• Gain hands-on exposure to technologies such as VMware, Cisco, EMC, Palo Alto, Citrix, and modern security platforms
• Contribute to internal documentation, process improvements, and change management initiatives
• Support ongoing integration and standardization efforts as teams and systems converge across regions
• Build strong client relationships that contribute to positive feedback, retention, and long-term partnerships

What We’re Looking For (Our Wishlist)

• 3–5+ years of experience in IT support, systems administration, or MSP environments
• Strong working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, and Microsoft 365
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, subnetting, routing/switching, VPNs)
• Hands-on experience with virtualization technologies (VMware and/or Hyper-V)
• Exposure to cybersecurity tools, firewalls, or endpoint protection platforms (e.g., Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco Secure)
• Familiarity with storage, backup, and recovery technologies (SAN/NAS, Veeam, Dell EMC, etc.)
• Experience working with ITSM tools such as ServiceNow and understanding SLA-driven environments
• PowerShell or scripting fundamentals for automation and system checks are an asset
• Bilingualism (English/French) is a strong asset

What Makes This Role Exciting

• Technology Variety - Work across infrastructure, networking, storage, and security — no two days are the same
• Career Growth - Clear path toward Help Desk Lead or Senior roles, with access to training and support from the management
• Supportive Culture - Join a collaborative, fast-moving team that values curiosity, initiative, and innovation
