• Support live executive meetings and video calls: pre-meeting checks, bridge and call setup, in-meeting support, post-meeting follow-up
• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance inspections, keep the room and device inventory current, and record serial numbers, firmware and configuration baselines
• Open and work OEM support cases and RMAs (HP/Poly, Crestron, Extron, QSC), coordinate advance replacements, and swap failed units
• Coordinate with agency IT and network staff on VLANs, QoS, certificates and Teams tenant settings affecting room systems
• Contribute to monthly service reports: ticket counts, response times, PM completion, inventory changes
• Train agency users and local technical staff on room operation and basic troubleshooting
• Serve as a point of escalation for the regional field team and share knowledge with the Bowie engineering group
