You will proactively enhance the overall reliability and functionality of our IT infrastructure to support employee productivity.
Key Responsibilities:
Act as the primary point of contact for resolving IT helpdesk tickets.
Troubleshoot and resolve network issues, including Wi-Fi connectivity and performance optimization.
Provide effective support for software, hardware, and system-level issues to ensure minimal disruption.
Manage hardware lifecycle, including procurement, configuration, distribution, and maintenance.
Maintain accurate IT hardware inventory and manage replenishment proactively.
Lead IT onboarding and offboarding processes, including account setup, hardware allocation, and security training.
Coordinate warranty claims, repairs, and hardware replacement activities.
Develop and maintain clear and accessible technical documentation, user guides, and knowledge bases to enhance user self-service.
Collaborate closely with the broader IT team to identify and resolve common issues and recommend improvements.
