• Assist with user onboarding and offboarding, including account provisioning and access management.
• Document resolutions, update knowledge base articles and contribute to internal technical procedures.
• Identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve service delivery and operational efficiency.
• Escalate complex technical issues to senior engineers with clear documentation and troubleshooting notes.
• Participate in an on-call roster approximately one weekend every two months.
• Travel to client sites when required to provide onsite support and assist with technical projects.
