Desktop Support Specialist

Desktop Support Technician | Location: East Syracuse, NY | Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM | On-Site
We are seeking well-rounded Desktop Support Technicians with solid networking experience to join a growing HyperCare support team. In this role, you will primarily provide telephony-based technical support for specialized hardware devices and assist with a major technology upgrade rollout - moving users from a legacy software version to a newer platform.
What You'll Be Doing
You will serve as the first line of support for end users experiencing issues with specialized devices and Windows-based systems. Responsibilities include remote troubleshooting via tools such as TeamViewer and Bomgar, following standard operating procedures for post-install support, coordinating with vendors to drive issue resolution, and assisting with hands-on hardware support and depot-level work as needed.
Skills Required

• 2+ years of experience in a help desk, call center, or technical support role
• Proficiency in Windows environments including Control Panel navigation, Active Directory, and user account/permissions management
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals - IP addressing, LAN/switch patching, and structured cabling
• Ability to navigate Cisco Meraki for network diagnostics and troubleshooting
• Hands-on experience with remote support tools such as TeamViewer or Bomgar
• Familiarity with hardware troubleshooting and depot-level device support
• Strong ability to identify multiple points of failure and work methodically toward resolution
• Nice to have: experience in healthcare IT, enterprise environments, or structured cabling

What We Look For in Candidates

• A natural problem-solver who can think on their feet and juggle multiple open issues without dropping the ball
• Someone who takes ownership - you don't wait to be told twice, and you follow through until the issue is closed
• Clear, professional communicator who can translate technical issues into plain language for non-technical end users
• Reliable, punctual, and comfortable in a structured on-site environment
• A team player who collaborates well with vendors, colleagues, and end users alike
• Comfortable with change - this role supports an active technology rollout, so adaptability is key
