IT Support Technician
As an experienced IT professional, you know better than anyone that IT is about so much more than tickets and troubleshooting.
It’s about helping businesses succeed. It’s about implementing technical solutions that make workplaces simply work.
We’re Smart Dolphins, a managed IT services company that helps small to medium sized businesses leverage technology to drive productivity and growth. Our goal is to ensure our Allies’ (our term for customers) IT is always an asset in their organization, by aligning their technology with their business goals.
Thanks to our growth, we’re now looking for a new IT Support Technician/Network Administrator. If you’re ready to join a close-knit team and be part of a company whose core characteristics include self-management, continuous growth, and doing the right thing, then look no further.
IT Support Technician/Network Administrator
As our newest IT Support Technician/Network Administrator, your goal is to provide world-class customer service and leadership to our customers. You will deliver our managed service program through remote and on-site computer, networking and alignment support.
As you get started with us, you’ll work out of our office providing remote technical support to our Allies. You’ll get to know them and their infrastructure while getting to know our team, brushing up on the technical skills you’ll use here, and learning about our business.
Once you’re up and running, you’ll also have a chance to visit Allies on-site to make sure their technical infrastructure is running smoothly. You’ll take a proactive approach, digging deeply into Allies’ technology to ensure we get ahead of the reactive problems and reduce future issues. You’ll help our Allies sleep well at night, knowing their businesses and technologies are secure.
As part of our team, you will learn all aspects of our business and our managed IT services program. Working together, we’ll discover your strengths and specializations and work towards the right fit of role, interest, challenge, and job satisfaction.
Practically speaking, here’s what you’ll do:
- Provide remote technical support to clients/Allies online and via phone
- Travel to Allies’ sites to perform proactive and reactive network support services, as well as to participate in onboarding new clients
- Manage and analyze client LAN/WAN infrastructure, virtual environments, storage, backup and security technologies to help manage and identify risks within Allies’ IT environments
- Educate Allies on best use and configuration of LAN/WAN infrastructure
- Troubleshoot and repair network technology, including operating systems, hardware, and application software
- Create and maintain a technical documentation library for client system configurations
- Work cross functionally with other support teams to deliver comprehensive IT solutions
- Work on/with the reactive support (service desk) team as often as required
The Right Fit:
Like you, our best IT Support Technicians are:
- Customer focused: you’re passionate about delivering an outstanding customer experience. You build strong Ally relationships grounded in trust and genuine caring.
- Process-oriented: checklists, documentation, and standards excite you. You enjoy building and following systems that keep things organized and clients happy.
- Continuous learners: if you don’t know something, you ask questions and jump right in to learn new skills.
- Team players: you’re known for always lending a hand and sharing your knowledge and time with your teammates.
- Responsible: you take ownership of your role, and always do the right thing for our Allies, their business, and our team.
If this sounds like you, then we can’t wait to meet you!
