Our company helps our clients with IT so they can focus on running their business, law firm, school, or medical practice. We also manage school networks and perform contracting work for large organizations. Big picture - We do all sorts of things from designing networks to providing ongoing maintenance; we are the company that our clients call for everything from basic computer support, to hosted solutions, to network management. Some clients want to push the envelope with new technologies and some want to keep costs to a minimum.
In this role, we are onsite approximately 10% of the time and provide remote support, strategic planning, budgeting, and client oversight from home or office 90% of the time. We typically work around 45 hours per week although sometimes we work longer and later. (In IT support, things can go crazy and we must work late sometimes). With the right monitoring tools, standardization, automation, and processes in place, we work to eliminate the crazy the best we can. Our office support hours are 8 AM until 6 PM. I would be lying if I said those were cushy hours playing PlayStation or watching Netflix while listening to clients talk about email problems on the phone. That's not our day - we are busting it to help our clients and move on to the next problem. We are on call after hours for about one week every four months. We have awesome benefits for an organization our size as well: excellent compensation, paid time off, 401k match, phone/internet allowance, sabbatical, bereavement, the list goes on and on.
We are looking for great people who are excited about technology and enjoy dealing directly with clients. We're fanatics about client service, we run a responsive and professional operation, and we love what we do. (OK, we don't love it every day but most days we do.) We're not looking for people who can't handle IT issues independently or who hate working with other humans. We are looking to build our team with people who want to learn about the latest technology and want to contribute to our team. Every day is different over here and you must learn quickly and go with it. Now for the boring requirements . . .
