  • Issue Resolution & Triage: Diagnose, troubleshoot, repair, optimize, and document incidents (hardware, OS, network connectivity, printing, OEM/enterprise apps).
  • Installations & Deployments: Image/build PCs, join to domain/management tools, configure user profiles, set up new users and workstations.
  • Networking Basics: Assist with switches, access points, VLANs, VPN clients, and wireless connectivity; escalate complex issues as needed.

  • Printing & Scanning: Configure network printers/MFPs, manage drivers/queues, troubleshoot output quality and connectivity.
  • Inventory & Lifecycle: Track assets, maintain accurate records (procurement, deployment, retirements), and keep spare stock orderly.
  • Software Support: Support enterprise and OEM software used by dealerships (installation, updates, credentials, basic troubleshooting).
  • Documentation: Keep runbooks, tickets, and knowledge base articles up to date.
  • Customer Service: Communicate clearly with non-technical users; set expectations and follow through to resolution.

What You Already Know (Prerequisites)

  • Networking fundamentals: IP addressing, DHCP/DNS, switching basics, wireless/AP concepts, and VPNs.
  • Security & Firewalls: Basic understanding of firewall concepts (allow/deny, NAT, rules) and secure access best practices.
  • PC Fundamentals: Windows 10/11 setup, drivers, updates, antivirus/EDR basics, and common troubleshooting methods.
  • Printing: Network printers/MFPs setup and support.
  • Ticketing & Documentation: Comfortable using a helpdesk system and writing concise notes.

Experience with any of the following is a plus (we’ll train where needed): pfSense or similar firewalls, UniFi switches/APs, OpenVPN, 3CX/VoIP, Google Workspace/Microsoft 365, Bitdefender GravityZone, PBS Systems or other dealership software, asset management tools.

Qualifications

  • College or university diploma in a computer-related field or comparable work experience.
