  • Monitoring and triaging service desk tickets, troubleshooting common hardware, software, account, access, and connectivity issues
  • Assisting with employee onboarding and offboarding activities
  • Supporting endpoint and asset management tasks
  • Maintaining IT documentation and knowledge base articles
