Maintain accurate ticket updates, service records, and troubleshooting documentation to ensure clear tracking of support activity.

Create user guidance, deliver practical training, and prepare support materials when employees need help with equipment or applications.

Review service desk incidents and requests to help improve response times, identify service concerns, and support a high standard of customer care.

Monitor logs, server health, security-related alerts, and special services to detect issues early and apply corrective actions as appropriate.

Contribute to process improvements, collaborate across teams on technical changes, and support the mentoring of Tier 1 analysts.

Participate in urgent or after-hours response when critical incidents require immediate technical support.
