• Help automate business processes and workflows using Microsoft Power Automate and SharePoint.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency across internal systems and documentation.

Skills & Experience Required :

• Minimum 3 years’ IT experience (desktop support, networking, or systems administration).
• Strong understanding of Windows configuration, patching, and basic network security.
• Good documentation and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and professionalism when working with clients.
