Helpdesk Technician

Role Overview 

The IT Helpdesk Technician will be the first line of support for employees experiencing technical issues. In this role, you'll gather detailed information from end users, perform hands-on troubleshooting, and work toward quick resolutions. When issues fall outside first-tier support, you'll create thorough documentation of the problem and all steps taken before routing the ticket to the appropriate team member. Day-to-day responsibilities include answering incoming support requests, maintaining accurate records in our ticketing system, and resolving hardware and software issues on Windows machines, with occasional work on Mac OS environments.
