Desktop Support Specialist

Overview: A New York City based technology team is seeking a Support Specialist with strong technical depth and the ability to troubleshoot beyond standard desktop support. This is an onsite role that requires someone who can independently investigate complex issues, identify root causes, and work comfortably with PowerShell and other diagnostic tools. This position is ideal for someone who has outgrown traditional Level 2 support and is ready for a more hands on, higher impact role within a fast moving environment.

Advanced Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis: Diagnose complex issues across Windows, mobile, cloud, and networking environments and drive them through full resolution. Perform detailed root cause analysis instead of temporary or superficial fixes. Use PowerShell or similar scripting tools to automate tasks, gather data, or streamline troubleshooting. Collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams when deeper technical investigation is required.

End User and Technology Support: Provide hands on support for workstations, laptops, mobile devices, collaboration tools, and AV systems. Handle installations, configurations, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance of hardware and software. Support video conferencing and meeting room technologies and help users adopt new tools.

Service Management and Documentation: Maintain structured and timely updates in the ticketing system. Review open incidents for the team and help move time sensitive issues forward. Follow support procedures and runbooks while proposing improvements when necessary.

Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree in a technology related field with roughly four to five years of hands on support experience. Industry certifications such as Microsoft certifications, Google IT Support, or CompTIA credentials are strongly valued.
