About the Role 

The IT Support Generalist is the primary on-site IT resource for the JPMS Distribution Center in Wilmer, TX (DFW area), providing front-line technical support to end users across both office and warehouse floor operations. This role supports hardware, software, and peripherals as well as warehouse-specific technology, including Zebra handheld barcode scanners, label and thermal printers, packing/shipping workstations, and the warehouse RF/Wi-Fi environment.
