We will consider candidates ranging from entry-level professionals building their IT careers to experienced support specialists with five or more years of hands‑on experience. Whether you are configuring your first professional workstation or already resolving complex hardware, software, and network issues independently, this role offers an opportunity to expand your technical knowledge while supporting a growing industrial organization. You will not get lost here. Your work will be seen, and it will matter. What This Role Really Is This is a hands‑on IT support position focused on helping employees resolve the technology issues that affect their daily work. You will investigate hardware, software, access, connectivity, and workstation problems; configure equipment; document support requests; assist users with new systems; and help maintain reliable technology operations across ACECO. This is not a role where you sit back and wait for tickets. Success requires curiosity, responsiveness, patience, clear communication, and the initiative to investigate problems thoroughly. Depending on experience, you may begin by resolving routine support issues under guidance or take independent ownership of more advanced workstation, software, and network‑related problems. Who Thrives Here — and Who Does Not You will do well here if you: Enjoy troubleshooting and finding the cause of technical problems Can explain technical information clearly to non‑technical users Stay patient and professional when employees need help Take ownership of support requests and follow them through to resolution Keep accurate notes and documentation Enjoy learning new hardware, software, systems, and security practices Can balance multiple requests without losing attention to detail Work effectively both independently and as part of a team This role is likely not a fit if you: Want to work remotely from home Become frustrated when users need step‑by‑step assistance Close support requests without confirming that the problem is resolved Avoid documenting your work Prefer highly isolated technical work with little employee interaction Wait for detailed instructions before investigating routine problems Are unwilling to assist outside normal hours during a serious system or network issue What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days Entry‑Level Specialists Learn ACECO’s systems, hardware standards, support procedures, and security expectations Begin resolving routine workstation, software, peripheral, and access issues Configure computers and user equipment accurately Document support requests and troubleshooting steps consistently Build confidence communicating with employees across different technical skill levels Identify when an issue should be escalated Experienced Specialists Independently investigate and resolve more complex hardware, software, and network‑related issues Improve ticket documentation and recurring‑issue resolution Support workstation deployment, system changes, and user training Identify technical risks, recurring problems, and opportunities for improvement Become a trusted support resource for employees and the IT team Contribute to broader IT projects based on experience and business needs Why Join Our Team at American Crane?
