Troubleshoot Microsoft Windows environments, user access concerns, and common workstation problems to restore service efficiently.
Support account administration and directory-related tasks, including routine work within Active Directory.
Use service management and support platforms such as ConnectWise to document incidents, track progress, and communicate resolutions.
Assist with technical projects in addition to day-to-day support responsibilities, helping to keep initiatives on schedule.
Address basic networking and connectivity issues and escalate more complex problems when necessary.
Provide user support for business applications and operational tools, including environments that may involve QuickBooks and remote support utilities.
