  • Use Autotask, NinjaOne, and IT Glue.
  • Maintain detailed ticket notes, update internal documentation, and contribute to the knowledge base.
  • Work closely with senior engineers and project teams on deployments and escalations.
  • Communicate efficiently with non-technical users by setting clear expectations and closing the loop.

They require skills/experience with:
