Job description

Kent Moore Cabinets operates across multiple locations in Texas, and our IT Support Specialist wears multiple hats. You’ll handle first-line technical support for employees across our organization, manage onboarding and offboarding, keep our ticketing system running, and travel to our manufacturing plants and design centers to deliver, install, and troubleshoot hardware in the field. This is hands-on work. You’ll repair and deploy production scanners, carry equipment, work in manufacturing environments, and solve problems in real time. You’re not stuck at a desk. You’re the person who shows up when something breaks and fixes it. You work as part of a growing team that values clear thinking, ownership, and getting the job done right.

What You’ll Do Field Support & Hardware Installation

  • Travel to KMC manufacturing plants and outer offices to install, troubleshoot, and support hardware and equipment

  • Troubleshoot hardware issues (laptops, desktops, printers, peripherals, network)
  • Support Windows OS, Microsoft 365, and common line-of-business applications
  • Use our ticketing system to track, manage, and close requests
  • Know when to escalate - you’ll own some problems end-to-end; others you’ll hand off to specialists

Onboarding & Offboarding

  • When new hires arrive, coordinate their first-day setup: accounts, devices, email, access, physical workspace
  • When people leave, manage deprovisioning and asset recovery

Documentation & Communication

  • Keep clear notes in our ticketing system so the team understands what was done and why
  • Create simple documentation for common issues so users can solve problems on their own
  • Communicate status to the team and to end users when issues affect multiple people, * Why you want to work in IT support and what interests you about the hands-on/travel aspects of this role
  • An example of a technical problem you solved and what you learned from it
  • Your comfort level with physical work, travel, and working in different environments
