Job description

EnTech is hiring an IT Support Specialist based in New York’s Capital Region to support a public-sector client in Albany while contributing to our wider managed-services support operation. The first phase of this role is hands-on: helping migrate a client agency to a new Microsoft 365 tenant and retiring their on-premises server infrastructure. Once that work completes, the role shifts toward remote support across EnTech’s client base, with continued on-site coverage in Albany as needed., Migration and Decommissioning Phase

  • Re-join and re-enrol end-user workstations to a new Microsoft Entra ID tenant; validate profiles, applications, printing and drive access afterwards
  • Provide on-site support during cutover windows, including scheduled evenings and weekends
  • Inventory on-premises servers, network equipment, printers and line-of-business applications; track each dependency to its disposition
  • Physically decommission retired equipment: decabling, secure data destruction, asset disposal records
  • Walk users through changes at their desk and absorb the first-line questions that follow a cutover

Ongoing Client Support

  • Serve as the on-call on-site presence for the Albany client, responding within agreed timeframes for issues that cannot be resolved remotely
  • Administer Microsoft 365: user lifecycle, licensing, Exchange Online, SharePoint and Teams, MFA and conditional access
  • Maintain endpoint security agents, patching compliance and device inventory
  • Keep documentation and asset records current

Support Queue

  • Work tickets across EnTech’s client base remotely, to published response and resolution targets
  • Handle user onboarding and offboarding across our identity and SaaS platforms
  • Escalate cleanly, with the diagnostic work already done

Requirements

  • 3+ years in desktop support, help desk or IT operations
  • Resident in the NY Capital Region - within roughly 30 minutes of Albany 12205 (Albany, Colonie, Latham, Guilderland, Schenectady, Troy, Clifton Park) - with reliable transportation and a valid driver’s licence
  • Hands-on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID (Azure AD) administration
  • Windows 10/11 troubleshooting; Windows Server and Active Directory familiarity sufficient to decommission them safely
  • Networking fundamentals: DNS, DHCP, VPN, basic switching and wireless
  • Willing to work scheduled evenings and weekends during cutover windows, and to be on call
  • Able to lift and move equipment up to 50 lbs and work in server rooms and under desks
  • Comfortable being the only technical person in the room with a client, * Direct tenant-to-tenant or on-premises-to-cloud Microsoft 365 migration experience
  • Public-sector or government client experience
  • MSP or managed-services background
  • Microsoft certifications (MD-102, MS-102, AZ-104) or CompTIA A+/Network+
  • Familiarity with endpoint management, identity platforms or ticketing systems
