• Travel locally between facilities as needed (primary facility and a nearby secondary site, roughly 10 minutes away); occasional travel to a facility in the Southeast

Requirements

• 1–3 years of relevant IT support/help desk experience
• Ability to troubleshoot independently and identify root causes without escalating every issue
