Company Overview

NerdsToGo is a technology services company providing computer repair, managed IT support, and help desk services for residential and small business customers. We deliver white-glove technical service with a focus on responsiveness, clear communication, and practical solutions that keep our clients' businesses running smoothly.

Job Summary

We are seeking a full-time Service Coordinator / Level 1 Technician to serve as the operational hub of our service delivery team. This is a hybrid role: your primary responsibility is managing the flow of our service board-triaging incoming tickets, assigning work to technicians, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Your secondary responsibility is handling first-touch technical support for straightforward issues. This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, communicates well with clients, and thrives on keeping a team running efficiently.

Primary Responsibilities - Dispatch & Coordination
  • Own the service board: conduct morning triage to review all open tickets, prioritize work, assign or reassign tickets, and identify SLA risks
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for incoming client calls, emails, and portal submissions-logging tickets, gathering initial information, and setting client expectations
  • Categorize and prioritize all new tickets by type, tier, and urgency, routing them to the appropriate technician based on skillset, workload, and availability
  • Monitor ticket aging throughout the day, following up with technicians on stalled or unupdated tickets to maintain accountability
  • Perform end-of-day board review to ensure all tickets are properly documented with notes, time entries, and status updates before close-out
  • Facilitate a brief daily standup with the technical team to review priorities, blockers, and the day's schedule
  • Escalate tickets appropriately when L1 resolution is not achieved within 15-20 minutes, providing clear context and troubleshooting steps already taken
  • Track and communicate scheduling for on-site appointments, ensuring technicians have the information they need before arriving
Secondary Responsibilities - L1 Technical Support
  • Provide first-touch resolution for common support requests including password resets, MFA issues, printer problems, basic Outlook/Microsoft 365 questions, and user account management
  • Perform basic PC and Mac troubleshooting, software installation, and maintenance tasks
  • Assist with Microsoft 365 administration including user setup, license assignment, and basic security configuration
  • Deliver clear, professional communication to clients throughout the resolution process
  • Document all troubleshooting steps, resolutions, and client communications in the ticketing system
  • Provide one-on-one guidance to clients on basic technology topics as needed
What Success Looks Like
  • Zero tickets sit unassigned for more than 15 minutes during business hours
  • SLA targets are consistently met or exceeded across the board
  • Technicians spend their time solving problems, not figuring out what to work on next
  • Clients experience a single, reliable point of contact when they reach out for help
  • The service board is clean, current, and accurate at the end of every day
Required Qualifications
  • 2+ years of experience in IT support, help desk, or a service coordination role
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills-you'll be the voice of the company for many clients
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems (ConnectWise Manage experience is a strong plus)
  • Knowledge of Windows and Mac OS troubleshooting fundamentals
  • Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel)
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in an MSP or IT services environment
  • A+, Network+, or other relevant certifications
  • Familiarity with ConnectWise Manage, MSPbots, or similar PSA/dispatch tools
  • Experience with networking basics: routers, firewalls, TCP/IP, wireless access points
  • Associate's degree or higher in a technology-related field
Benefits
  • Competitive salary with growth path into a Service Manager or Operations Lead role
  • Health insurance, paid time off, and paid holidays
  • Hands-on experience with a growing technology services company
  • A collaborative, small-team environment where your contributions have a direct and visible impact
  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities, including certification support


Compensation: $22.00 - $27.00 per hour
