## 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
