Job Description

Summary

Our client, located in the Huntsville/Decatur, AL area is a well-established Managed Services Provider (MSP) supporting a diverse portfolio of business clients throughout the region. They are seeking an experienced Level II+ IT Support Technician who brings a strong technical foundation, particularly within Microsoft environments and networking, along with the initiative and problem-solving ability to independently work through more complex technical issues.

This position is best suited for an experienced MSP professional who operates at a strong Level II level and is comfortable taking on responsibilities that may occasionally approach Level III support. The ideal candidate will be technically sound, self-motivated, dependable, and capable of taking ownership of issues from initial diagnosis through resolution while knowing when escalation or collaboration is appropriate.

Just as important as technical ability is the individual's approach to the team and clients. The successful candidate will have a positive attitude, communicate well, be coachable, and enjoy working collaboratively in an MSP environment where priorities can change quickly.

Candidates do not need experience with every technology within the company's existing stack. The organization is willing to train the right individual on specific platforms and tools when the candidate demonstrates strong technical fundamentals, aptitude, initiative, and a willingness to learn.

• Assist with new-user onboarding, workstation deployment, software configuration, account provisioning, and access management.
• Install, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot network equipment and related client infrastructure.
• Support client onboarding, migrations, upgrades, deployments, and other IT projects as needed.

• Help administer, maintain, and optimize centralized tools deployed across the client base.
• Identify recurring technical issues and recommend opportunities to improve processes, standardization, automation, and overall service delivery.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation, ticket notes, configurations, and client records.
• Work independently when appropriate while collaborating effectively with other technicians and senior engineers on complex issues.
• Communicate professionally with clients and translate technical issues into clear, understandable information.
• Take ownership of assigned responsibilities and follow issues through to successful completion.
