Computer Technician Principal, PC Refresh - Seattle, WA

Encompasses a broad range of deployment requirements including Refresh (routine replacement of aged IT equipment) and deployment of devices specified in users' individual requests and Work Requests. The technical staff engaged in the deployment is required to work closely with the IRS PMO (Program Management Office) to provide continuous improvement in the quality and quantity of deployed systems.

• Receipt / asset control of systems for deployment
• Validate SW inventory of target system and insure "build to order" accuracy of replacement system
• Correction of discrepancies identified, and root cause analysis to prevent future discrepancies.

• Issue request for execution of Altiris Deployment Solution against target and replacement workstations
• Set up replacement workstation at user location

• 2. Desk Side :

Deskside technicians provide on-site support for incident resolution when remote support is unable to provide a solution. They provide support for on-site delivery of work products and supplemental support as needed for remote delivery, and provide prompt and professional resolution of IRS end-user incidents and problems. The technicians also provide end-user support, troubleshooting assistance to resolve end-user incidents, and coordinate with other MITS organizations or vendors to resolve end-user incidents. Desk Side support is intended to provide "physical touch" remediation for Hardware and Software incidents when that is required. Nonetheless, there are times when Desk Side technicians can and should use remote tools to remediate an incident that Service Desk was not able to fix. These activities are as described in the previous paragraph.

The Contractor shall provide the IT support for equipment connected to the Local Area Networks (LAN) at IRS locations. The majority of the work will be for hardware and software installed on the workstation, peripheral devices, configuration and connectivity to the LAN. Incidents will be assigned to the technicians using the IRS incident management system, which is an implementation of HP's Service Manager COTS product. Each technician will manage his / her incident inventory in a manner that results in resolution of a minimum of 5 tickets in each 8 hour period while engaged in this effort, once they have been provided with training and familiarization with IRS Deskside SOPs.
