- Assist with day-to-day support of office networking equipment (switches/access points, basic firewall and VPN connectivity issues) under the direction of the senior staff
- Track and manage IT inventory - logging equipment as it's received, deployed, or returned across all office locations
- Participate in vendor calls and help coordinate invoices with Accounts Payable
- Support business continuity and disaster recovery activities, including delivering, setting up, or relocating equipment (including storage/backup devices) at all our office locations
- Support onsite visits related to IT projects, equipment installs, office relocations, and vendor evaluations
- Provide occasional after-hours or weekend support for urgent IT issues, on a rotating basis with the wider IT team

- Minimum of 2–3 years of experience in IT support, help desk, or technical operations
- Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams), Windows operating systems, and basic hardware troubleshooting
- Hands-on experience with laptop setup/imaging, user account provisioning (Active Directory and/or Entra ID), and equipment inventory tracking
- Familiarity with a professional ticketing system (Autotask, Jira, or similar) preferred
- Basic understanding of networking fundamentals - Wi-Fi troubleshooting, DHCP/DNS basics, VPN connectivity
- Strong customer service mindset with clear written and verbal communication skills
- Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple tickets and priorities simultaneously across several office locations
