• Prepare and distribute end-user equipment such as computers and mobile devices, ensuring systems are configured correctly, required applications are installed, and devices are ready for business use.

• Investigate and resolve problems involving Windows environments, Microsoft 365 applications, and other enterprise tools while escalating more complex matters to the appropriate technical teams when needed.

• Maintain accurate records for incidents, service requests, actions taken, and final resolutions so ticket updates remain current and complete throughout the support lifecycle.

• Track technology assets from assignment through return, refresh, and retirement, including staging returned equipment, securely clearing devices, and supporting inventory accuracy.

• Support software compliance efforts by verifying licensing during deployment and routine support activities and identifying exceptions for follow-up.

• Assist with endpoint administration tasks related to patching, antivirus coverage, and device management platforms by following established operational procedures.

• Troubleshoot printers and other office peripherals and partner with network-focused teams when connectivity or infrastructure issues fall outside desktop support scope.

• Contribute to team knowledge resources by creating and updating support documentation for recurring issues, common fixes, and standard processes.
