This role is the operational heartbeat of our help desk. You'll work closely with our engineering team, clients, and leadership to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. If you thrive on organization, enjoy keeping people and processes on track, and want to be the person who makes a team run better, then this is the role for you.

About PJ Networks

We're a small, collaborative, and dedicated team that takes pride in building long-term relationships with our clients. If you like variety, enjoy being part of something bigger than just your job title, and want to work with people who genuinely care about doing good work—you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

Ticket Management & Dispatch

• Monitor incoming support requests via email, phone, and automated alerts


• Create, categorize, and prioritize tickets in our ticketing system


• Assign and dispatch tickets to the appropriate engineer based on skillset, availability, client familiarity, and priority


• Monitor open tickets throughout the day to ensure progress, follow up with engineers on stalled or aging tickets


• Escalate unresolved or high-priority issues to management as needed

Scheduling & Resource Coordination

• Manage and coordinate engineer schedules, balancing reactive support with pre-scheduled projects and on-site visits


• Track engineer availability, location, and workload throughout the day


• Coordinate scheduling for client projects, on-site visits, remote support, and follow-up appointments


• Maximize the efficiency and utilization of the engineering team

Client Communication

• Serve as a point of contact for clients on ticket status and scheduling


• Follow up with clients to confirm issue resolution and satisfaction


• Communicate proactively when there are delays or scheduling changes


• Ensure clients feel informed and valued throughout the support process

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities


• Proficiency with computers and ability to learn new software quickly

Preferred:

• Experience in a dispatcher, coordinator, or scheduling role (IT industry experience a plus but not required)


• Familiarity with MSP ticketing systems or PSA tools


• Basic understanding of IT concepts (networking, servers, workstations) — enough to triage, not troubleshoot
