• Coordinate with internal IT teams and technology vendors during upgrades, system changes, troubleshooting, and service restoration
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including knowledge articles, configurations, procedures, standards, and troubleshooting resources
• Identify opportunities to improve support processes, automate repeatable tasks, strengthen security, and improve system reliability

What We're Looking For

• Three or more years of progressively responsible experience in IT support, systems administration, network support, or a related role
• Associate or bachelor's degree in Information Technology or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience
• Hands‑on experience supporting Windows 11, workstation imaging and deployment, application installation, and end‑user troubleshooting
• Working knowledge of Active Directory and Microsoft 365 services, including Microsoft Entra ID and Exchange Online
• Foundational knowledge of network technologies and troubleshooting concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN, switching, wireless networking, and firewalls
• Experience managing user access and permissions with an understanding of least‑privilege principles and other security fundamentals
• Strong technical troubleshooting skills with a structured approach to identifying and resolving issues
• Strong customer service and communication skills with the ability to explain technical information in clear, practical terms
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills with the ability to manage competing requests and follow tasks through to completion
• Ability to create clear, accurate, and useful technical documentation
• A collaborative mindset, personal accountability, and a desire to continue learning and taking on broader technical responsibilities
• Experience with Egnyte or a similar enterprise file‑sharing and content platform is preferred
• Experience supporting Autodesk, Bentley, or other design and engineering applications is a plus
