What You’ll Do As a Deskside Engineer, you’ll provide responsive, customer-focused technical support while diagnosing and resolving a variety of hardware, software, access, and connectivity issues. Key Responsibilities Provide hands-on deskside support for desktops, laptops, printers, mobile devices, and other peripherals. Troubleshoot Windows operating systems and iOS devices.

The Person Who Will Thrive Here You’re someone who genuinely enjoys figuring out why something isn’t working - and making sure it works before you walk away. You learn new technologies quickly, communicate clearly, and understand that excellent IT support is as much about the user experience as it is about the technology. You’re patient when explaining technical issues, comfortable taking ownership of a problem, and equally comfortable collaborating with teammates when a solution requires additional expertise. You’re self-motivated, organized, detail-oriented, and willing to step up and lead when needed while remaining a strong team player. Why This Role? This is an opportunity to move beyond transactional help-desk support and become a highly visible, trusted technology partner to onsite users. You’ll work across a broad range of technologies and issues, build relationships with the people you support, and have the autonomy to research problems and drive them through resolution.
