We are looking for a Help Desk Technician to join our IT support team and provide technical assistance to our internal users. As a Help Desk Technician, you will be the first point of contact for employees experiencing technical issues with hardware, software, and network systems. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that users receive timely and effective support to resolve their problems and maintain productivity. In this role, you will handle incoming support requests via phone, email, or ticketing system, diagnose issues, and either resolve them directly or escalate them to the appropriate IT personnel. You will also assist with the setup and configuration of new hardware and software, maintain accurate records of support requests, and contribute to documentation and knowledge base articles. The ideal candidate is a problem-solver with excellent communication skills and a strong understanding of computer systems, mobile devices, and other tech products.
