Job Summary:  The Senior Desktop Technician is an onsite, senior technical role based at the Cool Springs office, providing hands-on support to Support Services teammates and acting as an extension of Specialized Dental Partners' remote engineering and architecture team. Beyond front-line troubleshooting, this role owns endpoint deployment, provisioning, and workstation policy implementation at scale using Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, Group Policy, and Azure AD / Entra policy. This role also supports device baselines, vendor pre-ship readiness, and repeatable workstation standards while serving as the senior on-site resource that bridges the service desk and engineering. Travel is required to lead and support large workstation deployment projects across office and practice locations.

Responsibilities:   

Endpoint Deployment & Provisioning 

• Deployments at scale: Plan and execute enterprise endpoint and desktop deployments, managing workstation builds and refreshes across multiple sites. 

• Automated deployment methods: Provision and manage devices using Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, and comparable endpoint management tooling, with significant hands-on experience in these platforms. 

• Policy implementation: Apply and support endpoint and workstation policies through Group Policy and Azure AD / Entra policy, ensuring standards are deployed consistently at scale. 

• Baseline creation: Design and maintain device baselines and, where applicable, golden image or baseline-creation processes to ensure consistent, secure, and repeatable workstation builds. 

• Vendor pre-ship readiness: Work with hardware vendors and internal teams to establish pre-ship baselines so computers can arrive closer to production-ready state. 

• On-site deployment leadership: Travel to office and practice locations to lead or support large workstation deployment jobs. 

Issue Confirmation and Resolution 

• Serve as the senior on-site point of contact for the Cool Springs office and Support Services teammates — confirming, assessing, and documenting the details of reported technical issues. 

• Troubleshoot and resolve Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 technical issues related to hardware, software, networks, endpoint policies, and other IT systems. 

• Own and refine the escalation framework, determining what is resolved on site versus routed to engineering. 

On-Site Support 

• Provide hands-on, in-office support at Cool Springs while collaborating with the remote engineering and architecture team. 

• Use strong physical, hands-on hardware experience to troubleshoot laptops, desktops, peripherals, docking stations, and other workstation equipment that cannot always be fully assessed remotely. 

• Be an active participant in the office community — keeping up with the office and proactively surfacing IT opportunities and risks. 

• Act as an extension of our significant remote support team to provide a positive experience to our enterprise office employees. 

Ticket Management 

• Work with the service desk team to monitor, prioritize, and manage tickets, ensuring timely resolution and adherence to service-level agreements (SLAs). 

• Serve as an escalation point for Level 1 and Level 2 analysts, and escalate complex issues to engineering as necessary. 

• Create automations within the ticketing system to provide leverage in ticket-flow handling. 

Customer Communication 

• Communicate effectively with practice staff and office teammates, providing regular documented updates on ticket and project status and next steps. 

• Deliver user-friendly instructions to resolve recurring issues or assist with IT processes. 

• Convey ticket and deployment flows via documented communications during hand-offs and transitions. 

Documentation and Reporting 

• Accurately document troubleshooting steps, resolutions, deployment runbooks, policy standards, device baselines, and knowledge base articles to improve team efficiency. 

• Identify and report trends or recurring issues to help drive long-term solutions.
