The omission of a specific duty does not exclude it from the position if the work is similar, related, or a logical assignment for this role.

Develop, maintain, and improve desktop support procedures, knowledge articles, quick-reference guides, and end-user documentation to promote consistent service delivery and repeatable support practices.

Support onboarding, mentoring, and knowledge transfer for new or less-experienced technicians by sharing best practices, demonstrating troubleshooting techniques, and reinforcing adherence to documented processes.

Provide remote hands support for other IT departments, including infrastructure, networking, security, collaboration, and endpoint teams, while following change, security, confidentiality, and compliance requirements.
