Key Responsibilities

· Own fulfillment of Install, Move, Add and Change (IMAC) requests, including setting up computers, peripherals and software for end users.
· Image computers using bootable USB media, deploy them to end users, and oversee device refresh and redeployment.
· Ensure accurate asset tagging, CMDB updates, and asset lifecycle records for every IMAC action.
· Take Level 1 and Level 2 calls and walk-ups, log them in ServiceDesk Plus, and resolve issues from password resets to hardware and software troubleshooting.
· Provide desk-side support for desktop, laptop, printer, mobile, AV and peripheral incidents, escalating to ServiceDesk Plus resolver groups as needed.
· Coordinate warranty repairs with vendor technicians and manage spare-parts inventory.
· Drive problem management for recurring issues and implement permanent fixes.
· Manage user and computer assets using Active Directory, SCCM, ManageEngine, CrowdStrike and Okta, and Webex accounts for Medicaid call center users.
· Manage surplus out-of-warranty equipment: wipe hard drives, remove computer objects from the network, and prepare equipment for sale on GovDeals.
· Plan onsite support for infrastructure projects (hardware refresh, migrations, office moves, network cutovers, site build-outs), provide estimates and report progress against milestones.
· Coordinate after-hours and weekend change windows following the change management process.
· Ensure adherence to ITIL processes and security, safety and data-handling policies.
· Maintain site SOPs, runbooks and knowledge articles; drive ticket quality audits and identify automation and service improvement opportunities.
· Deliver against KPIs including SLA attainment, IMAC turnaround, first-visit resolution, CSAT, backlog health, asset accuracy and project milestones.

· Ability to manage competing priorities, SLAs and escalations under pressure.
· Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with end users, VIPs and client leadership.
· Valid driver's license, ability to travel between sites and lift up to 50 lbs, and flexibility for after-hours and weekend support.
