  • Set up and configure desktops, devices, and peripherals to meet departmental needs.
  • Provide user training on system workflows and tools to improve self-sufficiency.
  • Escalate effectively to MSP or application vendors when needed.

Operational Support & Maintenance

  • Act as liaison between internal stakeholders and vendors, ensuring alignment and responsiveness.
  • Monitor system uptime and user access for mission-critical applications.
  • Assist with user onboarding/offboarding and system provisioning.
  • Support auxiliary devices such as barcode printers, label systems, etc.

  • Proficiency in AS400 administration, support, and troubleshooting.
  • Solid working knowledge of SQL for data queries, reporting, and basic integrations.
  • Experience supporting end users and mobile devices in complex environments.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills—ability to communicate clearly, listen actively, and build trust across teams.

Nice-to-Have Exposure:

  • Experience with system integrations , APIs, or third-party software connections.
  • Familiarity with Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, or virtualization tools is a plus.
