• Provide daily technical support to employees for internal desktop systems, software, and hardware, with a focus on endpoint security posture.
• Monitor the request queue (ticketing system), maintain passwords, data integrity, and file system security for the desktop environment.
• Perform employee onboarding tasks: machine & account setup, IT peripheral desk setup, and lead IT onboarding training.
• Install, configure, and troubleshoot desktop systems, workstations, and laptops (macOS & Windows).
• Communicate technical information clearly to all personnel, regardless of their technical understanding.
• Review existing documentation for areas of improvement and submit knowledge entries to improve first-call resolution.
