Job description

Our employees rely on dependable technology to do their best work. This entry-level IT Technician role is the front line of that experience. Every employee interaction is treated as a customer experience, where responsiveness, communication, and follow-through matter just as much as the technical fix. We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving problems with their hands, learning every day, and treating every user interaction as a chance to build trust in the IT team and provide excellent customer service. This is a launchpad role into systems administration, networking, or cybersecurity for the right candidate.

• Deliver a high-quality internal customer experience by communicating clearly, setting expectations and following through until resolution.
• Provide first- and second-tier support to employees via tickets, phone, walk-ups, and remote tools.
• Troubleshoot Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN, DNS, and printer connectivity issues.
• Administer user accounts in Active Directory and Microsoft 365 (creation, password resets, group access)
• Document fixes and recurring issues in the IT knowledge base and maintains accurate asset inventory.

What You’ll Bring

• Associate’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Strong customer service orientation with clear written and verbal communication.
• CompTIA A+ certification (current or willing to obtain within the first 6 months).
• Demonstrated hands-on experience repairing PC hardware (RAM, SSDs, power supplies, peripherals).
• Working knowledge of TCP/IP, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and Windows 10/11 administration.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365, including user and license administration, Exchange Online, Teams, and OneDrive/SharePoint.
• Strong internal customer focus — able to communicate clearly, manage expectations, and create a positive experience for employees at all levels

Preferred

• CompTIA Network+ certification, or progress toward Microsoft 365 / Azure credentials.
• Prior experience on a corporate help desk or IT support team.
