  • Ability to image, configure, and deploy Windows workstations and laptops.
  • Familiarity with Dell desktop and laptop systems and related hardware troubleshooting.
  • Demonstrated success diagnosing and resolving technical problems independently in a fast-moving, multi-user environment.
  • Strong communication, customer service, and documentation skills, with the ability to travel locally when needed and maintain a valid driver's license.
