## Description

We are hiring an on-site Desktop Support Technician (DSS) to support the GSA DIGIT XGen program in Boston. In this role, you will be the hands-on face of IT for GSA customers - imaging and deploying end-user devices, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, supporting conference rooms and LAN/data center infrastructure, and providing white-glove support across desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile devices, printers, and VOIP. You'll work directly with customers on-site and remotely, coordinating with Network Services and other IT support groups to keep the GSA environment running smoothly.

This is a customer-facing position ideal for a technician who enjoys variety - one day imaging a fleet of new laptops, the next standing up a LAN room or configuring a conference room.

Key Responsibilities

Endpoint imaging & deployment: Re-image desktops, laptops, and tablets; execute large-scale system refreshes across desktops, laptops, tablets, and cell phones.

Endpoint security & encryption: Install and troubleshoot Maas360, Symantec, and BitLocker encryption software on GSA computers and mobile devices (tablets, cell phones).

Hardware install & support: Install and support printers, webcams, scanners, wireless keyboards/mice, and other peripherals; install/uninstall hardware and software based on customer system needs.

Remote support: Assist remote/off-site customers using Remote Desktop, Bomgar, ITCM DSM, and IBM BigFix.

Conference room technology: Install, configure, and troubleshoot conference room A/V and collaboration equipment.

Active Directory administration: Create, edit, delete, reset, unlock, enable, and research AD user accounts; add, edit, and delete computer objects in AD.

Building Automation Systems (BAS): Support BAS computers - imaging, configuring Jace information, setting static IPs, installing Niagara software, and prepping systems for BAS contractors per site specification.

Ticket escalation: Follow proper escalation procedures for issues requiring other IT support groups.

Network hardware: Troubleshoot and install switches, routers, and file servers on the GSA network.

LAN room & data center support: Assist with set-up and tear-down of LAN rooms and routine data center maintenance - creating custom-length Cat5/Cat6 cables, setting up racks, installing switches, servers, and UPS units in coordination with the Network Services Team.

Computer lab support: Set up and maintain computer lab machines, keeping them current and operational.

Print services: Support printers and MFPs (Xerox, Canon, Konica, HP, etc.) - install print drivers, help customers connect to local and network printers, add new workcenter machines to the network, and excess retired equipment.

Mobile device management: Set up and configure work cell phones (BlackBerry, Android/Droid, iPhone, Samsung) and tablets (Samsung Tab, iPad, Nexus Tab, etc.) on the GSA network.

VOIP: Create and manage VOIP accounts in Cisco Provisioning Manager, set up VOIP handsets, and configure IP Communicator software on customer workstations.
