About the role
We’re looking for a hands-on IT Support Specialist to help keep our growing car wash business running smoothly. This role blends corporate help desk support with in-the-field troubleshooting when our sites need extra support. In our environment, uptime is everything. When a tunnel goes down or team members are locked out of their accounts, operations stall and revenue is impacted. Your mission is simple: move fast, troubleshoot effectively, and get our teams back online with minimal downtime. If you enjoy solving problems, working in a fast-paced environment, and seeing the direct impact of your work on daily operations, you’ll thrive here.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the first point of contact for IT issues across corporate and field teams.
- Receive, troubleshoot, resolve, and thoroughly document support tickets.
- Support Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint), Windows 11, desktop issues, software installations, browser problems, and printer troubleshooting.
- Maintain strong ticket documentation and help build and improve runbooks to streamline recurring issue resolution.
- Travel to locations to resolve issues such as tunnel outages, iPad problems, WiFi failures, and other operational disruptions.
- Diagnose power issues, network outages, and software application problems.
- Troubleshoot and support POS systems, kiosks, receipt printers, tablets, barcode scanners, cameras, and NVR systems.
- Swap cables, replace peripherals, deploy new equipment, and perform basic connectivity checks.
- Open and manage tickets with vendors and ISPs, provide detailed documentation, and drive issues through full resolution.
- Maintain spare equipment and ready-to-go kits (cables, adapters, peripherals) so you can respond quickly when something breaks.
- Run ping tests and interpret results.
- Review ipconfig output.
- Troubleshoot DHCP, DNS, and WiFi issues.
- Triage and escalate more complex networking problems when needed.
- Note: Component-level hardware repair or server administration are not part of this role; those are handled by other members of the IT team.
Requirements
- 1–3 years of help desk, desktop support, or field IT experience (multi-site experience is a plus).
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Windows 11 troubleshooting.
- Solid understanding of basic networking concepts (IP, DHCP, DNS, WiFi).
- Clear and calm communication skills — especially when working with frustrated users.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize multiple active issues.
- Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to site locations.
