The Junior IT Technician will triage incoming technology needs, solve hardware and software issues, support desk equipment and computers, and use Splashtop to provide remote support when an issue does not require an in-person visit. The role is based at our headquarters in Towson, with on-demand (during business hours) travel to Gaithersburg and Annapolis when hands‑on support is needed. The right candidate is service-minded, calm under pressure, comfortable documenting repeatable fixes, and capable of supporting both day-to-day help desk issues and foundational networking tasks.
