This role supports a critical initiative to ensure approximately 22 physical endpoint machines are updated, secure, and compliant, particularly in preparation for upcoming security and compliance efforts.

• Upgrade systems from Windows 10 to Windows 11 using established procedures
• Install and update applications by manually launching and executing updates across systems
• Use elevated credentials responsibly to maintain secure environments
• Follow structured processes and checklists to ensure systems are compliant
• Troubleshoot basic technical issues (~20% of workload)
• Document updates and track progress using existing ticketing systems
• Coordinate with researchers and internal stakeholders via email to schedule device access and updates
• Provide white-glove, desk-side IT support while maintaining professionalism and strong relationships
• 70% Hands-on execution: updates, installs, system maintenance
• 30% Communication: coordinating schedules, providing updates, documenting work
• Work type:
• ~80% structured / repeatable updates
• ~20% troubleshooting / issue resolution
