It Support Assistant information

What is an IT Support Assistant?

IT Support Assistants are entry-level professionals who provide technical assistance and support to users experiencing computer, hardware, or software issues. They help troubleshoot problems, install and configure systems, and maintain IT equipment within an organization. Their role often includes responding to service requests, supporting network connectivity, and escalating more complex issues to higher-level IT staff. IT Support Assistants play a crucial part in ensuring smooth day-to-day technology operations for businesses or institutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an IT Support Assistant?

To thrive as an IT Support Assistant, you need a solid understanding of computer hardware, software troubleshooting, and basic networking, often supported by a diploma or certification in information technology. Familiarity with ticketing systems, remote desktop tools, and common operating systems like Windows and macOS is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, patience, and clear communication help you effectively assist users and manage technical issues. These skills ensure efficient resolution of IT problems, minimize downtime, and support smooth organizational operations.

What are some common challenges IT Support Assistants face when handling multiple support requests simultaneously?

IT Support Assistants often manage several user requests at once, which can be challenging when issues vary in complexity and urgency. Prioritizing tasks effectively and maintaining clear communication with users is essential to ensure timely resolution. Utilizing ticketing systems, collaborating closely with team members, and following established protocols can help manage workload efficiently. Developing strong organizational and multitasking skills will also aid in meeting user expectations and maintaining high service standards.

What is the difference between It Support Assistant vs Help Desk Technician?

Work EnvironmentCorporate, educational, or small business IT supportHelp desk, call center, or remote support
Job ResponsibilitiesAssist with hardware/software issues, basic troubleshooting, user supportRespond to user inquiries, troubleshoot technical problems, escalate issues

Both roles involve technical support and require similar certifications, but an It Support Assistant typically works more directly with hardware and software in various environments, while a Help Desk Technician often handles remote user support and call center tasks. The roles are closely related and often overlap, but the focus and work setting can differ slightly.

Is IT support a good entry-level job?

IT Support Assistant roles are often suitable for entry-level job seekers, as they typically require basic technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and customer service experience. These positions provide opportunities to learn about hardware, software, and networking, and may lead to more advanced IT careers with relevant certifications like CompTIA A+ or Network+.

Job description

Tech-Wood is growing, and we need YOU!

Who We Are

Since 1998, Tech-Wood Building Components Ltd. has been a trusted provider of Engineered Wood Products, Roof Trusses, Wall Panels, and Building Materials to Calgary and surrounding areas.

We proudly operate out of two manufacturing facilities ten minutes apart — one off Peigan Trail and the other right off Glenmore Trail, serving our customers with integrity, teamwork, and a drive for excellence.

At Tech-Wood, we believe success comes from working together. We’re a collaborative and forward-thinking team that values hard work, innovation, and having a bit of fun along the way. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re looking for someone who shares that same passion for excellence and teamwork.

Your Role: IT Support Specialist


As Tech-Wood’s IT Support Specialist, you'll be the first call when technology needs a helping hand. You'll support employees across both Tech-Wood locations by troubleshooting issues, managing equipment, and ensuring our technology is reliable, secure, and ready to support our growing business.

This role is about more than fixing computers, it's about creating a great employee experience through technology. You'll help improve systems, support new initiatives, and work closely with every department to keep Tech-Wood connected and moving forward.

What You’ll Do:

  • Provide day-to-day IT support to employees across both Tech-Wood locations.
  • Troubleshoot hardware, software, Microsoft 365, network, printing, phone, and mobile device issues.
  • Set up, deploy, maintain, and replace computers, laptops, and other IT equipment.
  • Support employee onboarding, role changes, offboarding, and user account management.
  • Support end-user access and connectivity for our PG team while working alongside the IT Lead on broader technology initiatives.
  • Assist with network administration, cybersecurity initiatives, system maintenance, and backup testing.
  • Maintain accurate IT documentation, asset inventories, and support procedures.
  • Identify opportunities to improve IT processes, user experience, and operational efficiency.
  • Support technology projects and system implementations alongside the IT Lead.
  • Participate in a compensated after-hours and on-call rotation once fully trained.

What You Bring:

  • 2–4 years of IT support experience in a business, manufacturing, industrial, or multi-site environment.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with a customer-first mindset.
  • Experience supporting Windows devices, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and common business technologies.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts in a simple, approachable way.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize multiple requests in a fast-paced environment.
  • A willingness to learn, adapt, and continuously improve.
  • Experience with networking, cybersecurity, Microsoft environments, or Cisco Meraki is considered an asset.
  • Relevant IT certifications (CompTIA, Microsoft, etc.) are considered an asset.

Additional Requirements:

  • Valid Class 5 driver's license and the ability to travel between our Tech-Wood locations.
  • Ability to participate in a compensated after-hours and on-call rotation.
  • Successful police background check.
  • Comfortable working in both office and production environments, including exposure to noise, dust, lifting IT equipment, and wearing PPE when required.

What We Bring:

  • Competitive compensation and bonus opportunities
  • Group benefits
  • HSA Allowance
  • Paid vacation time
  • Free on-site parking
  • Company team-building events
  • Ongoing learning and development opportunities
  • A fast-paced, collaborative environment where people support each other and take pride in their work
  • A team that is invested in YOU — professionally and personally
