Descrição da oferta de emprego
Are you looking for limitless career opportunities with a company that values growth, innovation, and teamwork?
At Ntiva, we’re more than a Managed Services Provider, we’re a community dedicated to helping each other, our clients, and their businesses thrive both personally and professionally. Ntiva is a culture of people who are passionate about the work…and each other.
Our clients view us as an essential part of their teams, relying on us for strategic guidance, fast solutions to complex challenges, and proactive support.

If you thrive in a dynamic, supportive environment and enjoy going above and beyond, we’d love to meet you. Come explore one of our many opportunities and grow with us!
As a Service Desk Technician III, you will be responsible for managing and resolving elevated support desk tickets escalated from Tier 2 or directly assigned to you when necessary.
