Job description

Open Position

Network Engineer - Dental IT

Full-Time / Portland, Maine / Hybrid

Portland, ME (Hybrid) | Full-Time W2 | $18 - $25/hr depending on experience

We’re not looking for someone who just fixes computers. We’re looking for someone who figures things out, takes pride in their work, and genuinely enjoys helping people through technology.

Who We Are

Ekim IT Solutions is a growing Managed IT Service Provider based in Portland, Maine. We work with 100+ dental practices to keep their operations running smoothly, securely, and efficiently. We’re not your average IT shop. We focus on relationships, innovation, and a no‑BS approach to helping our clients succeed.

You’ll work directly with the founder, be trusted to take ownership, and have real opportunities to grow your role as we grow the company.

What You’ll Be Doing

A hybrid role with real variety every day.

Mostly remote, but with regular travel to client sites across Southern Maine (within about 1.5 hours of Portland). You’ll have access to our Portland office anytime, and your week will include a mix of help desk, fieldwork, and documentation work. No two days will be the same.

• Help Desk Support: Handling remote and onsite help desk tickets covering hardware, software, and networking issues.
• Client Site Visits: Visiting dental practice locations to deploy equipment, troubleshoot, or assist with projects across Southern Maine.
• Cabling and Infrastructure: Running and terminating CAT6 Ethernet cabling, installing Wi‑Fi access points, printers, and related hardware.
• Client Onboarding: Supporting new client onboarding including device setup and user training at dental practice locations.
• Documentation: Creating and maintaining technical documentation including configurations, passwords, and SOPs.

Who We’re Looking For

Early career, strong critical thinking, ready to grow.

This is a great role for someone early in their IT career who has a passion for figuring things out. The bar is on attitude and aptitude, not a resume full of certifications.

• Lives in Southern Maine with a reliable vehicle and valid driver’s license
• Personable and communicative, comfortable dealing directly with clients in a dental practice environment
• Able to diagnose and resolve technical issues independently: you figure things out, you don’t wait to be told
• Solid foundation in the basics: Windows, networking, printers, cabling, routers and switches
• Flexible and self‑directed and excited to grow with a fast‑moving company
• Experience with MSP tools or prior IT support experience
• Degree or certifications in IT, networking, or a related field (not required)

Compensation and Growth

$18 - $25 per hour DOE. Full‑time, W2 position. Year 1+ significant raise if crushing it.

Growth Path

After one year, if you’re performing well, you get a significant pay increase and a dedicated company vehicle.

Perks and Benefits

Real perks that actually matter.

• Unlimited PTO No caps, no games, just accountability
• Company Equipment Laptop, tools, whatever you need to do the job
• Gym Membership Reimbursement to keep you healthy
• Lunch on Us Fridays Free food every Friday, no catch
• $100 Gift Cards Every time a client raves about your work
• Birthday Off Go enjoy your day, it’s on us
• Quarterly Retreats We unplug and reset together as a team
• Christmas Bonus Performance‑based bonus at year end
• Company Vehicle Dedicated work vehicle after one year of service

2. A quick note on why you’re the right fit

   Tell us who you are and why this role makes sense for where you’re headed. Keep it honest and specific. Generic cover letters don’t tell us anything.
