- Equipment Maintenance: Manage local IT stock, prep devices for deployment, and ensure proper asset handling.
- Customer Service: Maintain strong SLA performance while communicating clearly with end users to ensure a smooth transition.
Essential Skills
- Prior experience working in IT helpdesk, desktop support, or technician role.
- Practical experience supporting Windows 10/11 environments and Microsoft 365 administration.
