Responsibilities:
- Deliver first-level technical assistance to employees working in the office as well as staff connecting remotely from other locations.
- Manage incoming support requests through the ticketing queue, document issues accurately, and move cases forward to resolution in a timely manner.
- Troubleshoot Windows-based hardware and software problems, including common break/fix incidents affecting desktops, laptops, and user accounts.
- Provide direct one-on-one support through chat, remote access tools, and occasional phone interaction to address user concerns efficiently.
- Prepare and configure end-user devices for deployment, ensuring systems are ready for business use.
- Perform routine checks on key office technology and infrastructure at the beginning and end of the workday to help identify issues early.
- Support a Dell-based workstation environment and assist users with Microsoft platform-related questions and technical problems.
- Collaborate closely with the onsite team to extend coverage and reduce support delays for employees needing immediate assistance.
- Prior experience in a Level 1 help desk, desktop support, or similar end-user support position.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Windows environments, including Windows 10 administration and troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with Active Directory for basic user account support tasks such as password resets and account maintenance.
- Experience using a ticketing platform or service desk system to track, update, and close support requests.
- Strong foundational troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, and user access issues.
- Ability to support both in-person and remote users with clear communication and a customer-focused approach.
- Background in Microsoft-centric desktop environments is required; experience in Dell device ecosystems is helpful.
- Exposure to organizations in industrial, mechanical, or similar operational settings is a plus, and familiarity with Tridium is beneficial but not required.
