• Endpoint management: Image, deploy, and support macOS and Windows endpoints, including MDM enrollment, patching, and asset management
• Office technology: Support AV/conference room systems, printers, and other office technology
• Documentation: Create and maintain documentation: network diagrams, runbooks, knowledge base articles, and standard operating procedures

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in network engineering and IT support roles

• Working knowledge of Google Workspace administration
• Proficiency supporting both macOS and Windows operating systems
• Experience with ticketing systems and disciplined ticket hygiene
• Ability to lift and rack network equipment and travel to offices and hubs for buildouts or escalations.
