You'll work in a collaborative environment where every interaction — from a quick fix to a full-scale implementation — contributes to client success.

Responsibilities

Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across all levels — from Tier 1 support to advanced infrastructure problems.

Lead IT projects from planning through execution, including documentation and clear communication with clients and the internal team.

Act as a primary escalation point for complex issues, while also assisting with day-to-day tickets and general support tasks as needed.

Collaborate with vendors and third parties to resolve issues and implement solutions.

Maintain clear, professional communication with clients regarding support tickets, project updates, and resolution timelines.

Ensure strong internal communication by keeping teammates informed, updating ticket details thoroughly, and sharing relevant information as needed.

Build and maintain strong client relationships through consistent, responsive, and knowledgeable support.

Learn, implement, and support new technologies.

Provide both remote and on-site support (primarily in Woodstock and surrounding areas, with occasional extended travel).

Assist with the ticket queue to support overall workflow and team efficiency.

Adapt to the needs of a small business by taking on varied responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

6+ years of hands-on IT experience, with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve Tier 1 through Tier 3 issues across a variety of environments.

Strong expertise in Windows Server (2016 and newer), including AD, DHCP, DNS, RDS, and Certificate Services.

Solid networking knowledge, including VLANs, routing, and VPNs.

Experience with firewalls (e.g., pfSense, Fortinet, Sophos, SonicWall).

Experience with AWS environments, including basic deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting.

Proven ability to plan, manage, and execute projects independently.

Strong internal and external communication skills, with a focus on keeping clients and coworkers informed and aligned.

Willingness to work collaboratively, mentor junior engineers, and support team growth.

Highly organized, reliable, and able to respond and follow through without micromanagement.

Preferred certifications : CompTIA (A+, Network+, Security+), Microsoft, Cisco, or AWS certifications.

Willingness to work after hours as needed (additional compensation applies).
