What you’ll do

Frontline Technical Support

Respond to incoming requests and tickets, providing timely support for common issues such as:

o Password resets, MFA prompts, account lockouts, access issues

o Teams/Outlook/OneDrive/SharePoint basics

o New user setup questions and general “how do I” support

o Basic Windows troubleshooting, performance checks, and software issues

Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Microsoft 365, endpoint devices, VPN connectivity, printers/peripherals, and basic networking (Wi-Fi, DNS basics, connectivity).
Identify recurring issues and flag patterns to the IT Manager / Level 2 for deeper investigation.

User Provisioning & Access Requests (Standard Scope)

Perform standard onboarding/offboarding tasks using defined checklists and processes.
Assist with account creation requests, group membership, app access requests, and role changes per documented approvals/workflows.
Escalate any request requiring elevated access, security review, or non-standard configuration.

Ticket Handling & Documentation

Own tickets from intake through resolution when within Level 1 scope; escalate cleanly when outside scope.
Document symptoms, steps taken, resolution, and user communication in the ticketing system.
Maintain and contribute to internal documentation in Notion (FAQs, walkthroughs, onboarding steps, common fixes).
Help improve ticket categories, routing, and intake questions to reduce back-and-forth.

Translate technical steps into plain language for non-technical staff.

Professional Values

Ownership: Follow through on assigned tickets, communicate clearly, and don’t let things stall.

Continuous improvement: Write down fixes, improve docs, and help reduce repeat issues over time.
