Company Profile
Our company helps our clients with IT so they can focus on running their business, law firm, school, or medical practice. We also do schools and 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 pc 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.
To be an awesome and incredible teammate, we search for candidates that can be part of our culture and share our Core Values:
- Client First: Respond quickly and help our clients get what they want from technology. Build trust by operating ethically.
- Process Oriented: Always think about the next step in the process.
- Eager to Learn and Grow: Pick up the ball and run with it. Try new things.
- Positive Team Player: Work together to help clients and teammates.
- Problem Solver: Find the root cause and fix it.
We are looking for great people who are excited about technology and enjoy dealing directly with end-users. We're fanatics about customer 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 are looking to build our team with people who want to learn about the latest technology and want to contribute to our award-winning team. Every day is different over here and you must appreciate the thrill of thinking quick on your feet.
Position Summary
A very important part of our service is the Service Desk which works all types of calls, each day is unique, and you will never be bored! This position is a hybrid-remote position in Columbia, SC. The caveat is while you will have a home office this position might require onsite help at one our clients from time to time in the greater Columbia, SC. You will need to be good with time documentation and management and enjoy solving all challenges for our clients, from a simple password reset to as complicated as a major outage.
In this role, we typically work around 40+ hours per week although sometimes we work a little longer. (If you work in IT support you know things can go crazy from time to time). Our office support hours are 8AM until 6PM EST. I would be lying if I said those were cushy hours playing World of Warcraft while listening to clients talk about email problems on the phone. That's not our day- we are kept on our toes helping students and school districts moving from one issue to the other. Each of our technicians takes turns being on call after hours about one week every three months. Not always a favorite, but it comes with the territory and our number one priority is taking care of our clients.
