Work with stakeholders to assess technology requirements and recommend appropriate hardware and endpoint solutions. Create and maintain technical documentation, support procedures, checklists, tutorials, and training materials. Monitor recurring incidents and recommend improvements to support processes, technology standards, and service delivery. Travel to organizational sites within Vancouver as required.
