Job Requirements Summary - IT Support Technician
We're looking for a proactive, hands-on IT Support Technician with 2-5 years of real-world technical support experience in a fast-paced environment. This is not a script-driven role-you'll be troubleshooting and resolving complex issues across desktops, laptops, printers (laser, thermal, label), mobile devices (iOS, Android, Zebra), networks, and enterprise systems.

Strong customer service skills, clear communication, and the ability to work independently without micromanagement are essential. A two-year technical degree (or current enrollment) in IT is required; certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, or ITIL are a plus. If you don't bring both the technical expertise and the drive to take ownership until issues are resolved, this role won't be the right fit.

  • Commitment to legendary customer service,
  • 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in a helpdesk or technical support role
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot hardware, software, and network issues across PCs, laptops, mobile devices, printers, telephony systems, and other infrastructure

  • Familiarity with Active Directory, Azure AD, VPNs, ticketing systems, and basic networking (DNS, DHCP, IP addressing)
  • Understanding of IT asset management, data security practices, and backup procedures
  • Knowledge of complex multi-user systems and enterprise software applications
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and customer service skills
  • Strong organizational, time management, and problem-solving abilities
  • Able to handle multiple high-priority issues in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
  • Eagerness to learn, take initiative, and work collaboratively without needing to be micromanaged
  • Accountability Mindset
Education and/or Experience:
  • Two-year technical degree or student currently pursuing degree/certification in Information Technology at a technical school or university required.
  • Certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, or ITIL are a plus

Other Skills and Abilities:
The requirements listed are representative of the knowledge, skills and/or abilities required. Ability to perform work requiring lifting and/or physical exertion may be required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
