  • Strong organizational, prioritization, and multitasking abilities.
  • Team-oriented mindset with a commitment to knowledge sharing.
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Detail-oriented, flexible, and self-directed.
  • Resourceful and proactive in solving problems independently.
  • Ability to manage multiple high-priority tasks in a technical environment

Technical Competencies

    • Intune packaging and PC deployments
    • TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, DNS, DHCP
    • Active Directory environments and Office 365 cloud applications
    • Desktop imaging, application deployment, hard drive encryption, domains, and group policies

 Company Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive salary, annual performance-based bonus, and stock grants
  • Retirement plan (401(k)) with competitive company match
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits, including medical, dental, and vision
  • Company-paid healthcare premium
  • Wellness screenings, health coaching, and counseling services via Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
