Job Description

POSITION SUMMARY

The IT Support Specialist provides first-level technical support to Steel River Companies' end users, ideally working in-office out of the Dallas Branch in a hybrid arrangement. This role manages user accounts and access, provisions and maintains Windows 11 and macOS devices through Microsoft Intune, supports the Microsoft 365 suite, and resolves day-to-day help desk requests logged through FreshService, while assisting with administration of the Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, and Purview admin centers. Supporting IT across CraneTech, NACB, and Hunter Lift gives this role broader technical exposure than a single-brand IT department. Success in this role looks like dependable, responsive support; accurate documentation and ticket updates; and a genuine interest in learning new tools as Steel River's technology environment evolves.

WHAT STEEL RIVER OFFERS

• Medical coverage through Cigna, with a choice of three plan levels including an HSA-eligible option, plus dental coverage through Guardian (with an option that includes orthodontia) and vision coverage through Guardian VSP.
• Company-paid Basic Life and AD&D insurance, with voluntary options for supplemental life, short- and long-term disability, critical illness, accident, and hospital indemnity coverage.
• A 401(k) plan through Fidelity Investments with a company match — 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of what you contribute — and eligibility to enroll on the first of the month after you're hired.
• Free, confidential counseling, legal, financial, and work-life support through the company's Employee Assistance Program, telemedicine covered in full, and a company wellness program.
• Paid time off that grows with your tenure, plus paid company holidays (including Veterans Day for veteran and active-duty employees).

WORK ENVIRONMENT

Adapted from Profile D — Hybrid Administrative / IT Support Role

Work is primarily desk- and computer-based, supporting end users by phone, email, and ticketing system, with periodic in-person support for device setup, printer issues, and other hands-on IT needs. A reliable internet connection and a dedicated workspace are required on remote work days, and this role requires availability during standard business hours to support employees across Steel River's brands.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

Travel is minimal — typically less than 10% of the time — for occasional visits between office locations to provide in-person IT support.
