Are you a tech-savvy problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, team-focused environment? Do you enjoy troubleshooting challenging issues and working directly with clients to make their IT lives easier? If so, we’d love to meet you.

We're looking for a Tier 2 IT Support Engineer to join our growing team. This is an in-office position with occasional on-site visits to client locations. You’ll play a key role in supporting our managed services clients, working alongside a tight-knit team of professionals who genuinely enjoy what they do.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Provide Tier 2 remote and in-person support for desktops, laptops, printers, and mobile devices.

  • Troubleshoot Windows OS, Microsoft 365, networking issues, and business applications.

  • Assist with server maintenance, network configurations, and cloud services support (Microsoft 365, Azure, etc.).

  • Handle escalations from Tier 1 support and communicate with vendors as needed.

  • Monitor client systems and respond to alerts via RMM tools.

  • Participate in client projects such as workstation deployments, firewall upgrades, or system migrations.

  • Document work thoroughly in our ticketing and documentation systems.

  • Occasionally visit client sites to resolve issues or complete hands-on installations (valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required).

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2–4 years of experience in an MSP or similar multi-client IT support environment.

  • Strong understanding of Microsoft environments (Windows 10/11, Windows Server, Active Directory, Office 365).

  • Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, firewalls, VPNs, routers/switches).

  • Comfortable working with RMM and PSA tools (e.g., ConnectWise, Datto, Autotask, etc.).

  • Great communication skills—both with team members and non-technical clients.

  • Reliable, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physical tasks related to IT equipment installation.

Bonus Points For:

  • Relevant certifications (CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, etc.)

  • Experience with backup and disaster recovery platforms

  • Exposure to scripting or automation tools (PowerShell, etc.)
