• Working knowledge of ITIL incident, request, change, problem and asset management.

Responsibilities

• Monitor team queues in the ITSM tool; assign, balance and re‑prioritize work based on impact, urgency and SLA.
• Coordinate VIP and executive support, critical incidents and site outages, balancing BAU tickets against project work.
• Escalate and coordinate with Service Desk, L3 resolver groups, network, server and vendor teams.
• Own fulfillment of Install, Move, Add and Change (IMAC) requests, including setting up computers, peripherals and software for end users.
• Image computers using bootable USB media, deploy them to end users, and oversee device refresh and redeployment.
• Ensure accurate asset tagging, CMDB updates, and asset lifecycle records for every IMAC action.
• Take Level 1 and Level 2 calls and walk‑ups, log them in ServiceDesk Plus, and resolve issues from password resets to hardware and software troubleshooting.
• Provide desk‑side support for desktop, laptop, printer, mobile, AV and peripheral incidents, escalating to ServiceDesk Plus resolver groups as needed.
• Coordinate warranty repairs with vendor technicians and manage spare‑parts inventory.
• Drive problem management for recurring issues and implement permanent fixes.
• Manage user and computer assets using Active Directory, SCCM, ManageEngine, CrowdStrike and Okta, and Webex accounts for Medicaid call center users.
• Manage surplus out‑of‑warranty equipment: wipe hard drives, remove computer objects from the network, and prepare equipment for sale on GovDeals.
• Plan onsite support for infrastructure projects (hardware refresh, migrations, office moves, network cutovers, site build‑outs), provide estimates and report progress against milestones.
• Coordinate after‑hours and weekend change windows following the change management process.
• Ensure adherence to ITIL processes and security, safety and data‑handling policies.
• Maintain site SOPs, runbooks and knowledge articles; drive ticket quality audits and identify automation and service improvement opportunities.
