Job Summary

Due to continued growth and expanding client demand, we are seeking a Tier 1 IT Support Technician with a strong desire to develop their technical skills across a variety of technologies and environments.

This role supports a diverse client base operating in growing, dynamic environments. You will work alongside experienced technicians to deliver enterprise-level support while gaining hands-on experience with real-world systems, tools, and best practices. This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their IT career who is motivated to learn, grow, and build a long-term path in managed services.

The position includes both remote and onsite support for clients under our Operations-as-a-Service (OaaS) and Time & Materials (T&M) models. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in Microsoft Windows environments and a basic understanding of networking concepts, along with strong customer service skills.

Success in this role requires attention to detail, a focus on security and process, and the ability to think beyond immediate issues—providing solutions that are scalable and aligned with long-term client needs. This position works closely with our clients and requires an individual who can build trust, manage multiple priorities, and contribute to strong, lasting relationships.

  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Windows (Desktop OS)

  • Basic understanding of:

    • Active Directory and/or Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

  • Experience supporting:

    • Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, Exchange Online)

    • End-user devices, printers, and common business applications

  • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, and basic network issues

  • Experience using or exposure to ticketing systems (PSA)

  • Strong documentation habits and attention to detail

    • Endpoint security solutions (e.g., SentinelOne or similar EDR platforms)

  • Basic experience with:

    • Network devices (firewalls, switches, wireless access points)

  • Entry-level certifications such as:

    • CompTIA A+ / Network+

    • Microsoft Fundamentals (MS-900, AZ-900)

  • Security Stack: SentinelOne, email security platforms (Avanan or similar)

  • Documentation: IT Glue (or equivalent)

Experience with these tools is a plus—but more importantly, we’re looking for candidates who are comfortable learning and working within structured systems and processes.

  • 1–3 years of IT support experience, preferably supporting multiple users or environments
