IT Systems Specialist

Job Title: IT Support Specialist

Location: Indianapolis, IN — ONSITE (this is a 100% on-site position; remote/hybrid is not available)

Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday, standard daytime business hours

Reports to: IT Manager

The IT Support Specialist provides day-to-day desktop and systems support to technology users for Cloud Proven Networks' internal staff and its clients. This is a hands-on, onsite role based at our Indianapolis, IN office. The technician resolves everyday hardware, software, and account issues, sets up and deploys computers for new and existing users, and handles routine user-administration tasks such as account creation, password resets, and group membership in Active Directory and Microsoft 365. This is a support-focused position — it sits above a first-call help desk role but below a systems administrator or engineer. The technician handles the bulk of user-facing and routine support work and hands off complex server, network, and infrastructure projects to the engineering team. The right person is dependable, service-oriented, comfortable supporting users in person, and able to keep up in a busy environment.

PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

Day-to-day duties are performed onsite for internal staff and client users, and include:

• Monitor and respond to a fluctuating volume of incoming support requests by email, support phone line, and in-person walk-ups.

• Create a ticket for every request and provide timely Level 1–2 user and systems support.

• Diagnose and resolve common hardware and software issues with desktops, laptops, printers, peripherals, mobile devices, email, and audio/video tools.

• Set up, image, and deploy new and refreshed computers for users, and configure printers and shared drives.

• Create and configure user accounts and handle routine user administration: new-user setup, password resets, and group membership in Active Directory and Microsoft 365.

• Follow standard support procedures — documenting requests, testing solutions, and confirming the fix meets the user's needs.

• Keep tickets up to date with current status and last activity so any team member can quickly see where an issue stands.

• Use good judgment to escalate more complex server, network, or infrastructure issues to engineers and management so they are resolved fully.

• Help maintain simple how-to and knowledge-base documentation for common issues and user instructions.

• Adhere at all times to company policies for safety and conduct.
