  • Zendesk ticketing system
  • Average daily volume of 30-40 tickets, plus walk-up support
  • Collaborative infrastructure and service desk team supporting user administration, networking, provisioning, and procurement

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience providing Tier 1 and Tier 2 help desk, desktop support, or service desk support.
  • Experience troubleshooting and supporting macOS devices in a business environment.
  • Experience troubleshooting Windows laptops, applications, user accounts, printers, and peripheral devices.
  • Hands-on experience imaging, configuring, and deploying laptops.
