  • Basic Network & Cloud Troubleshooting : Assist with diagnosing and resolving network connectivity issues (LAN / WAN, Wi-Fi, VPN) and provide support for cloud-based services.
  • Knowledge Base Contribution : Develop and maintain clear, concise documentation for common IT issues, solutions, and procedures to enhance self-service capabilities and team efficiency.
  • IT Asset Management : Assist with inventory, tracking, and lifecycle management of IT hardware and software assets.
  • Exceptional Customer Service : Provide empathetic, patient, and professional support to all users, ensuring a positive and efficient experience with every interaction.
  • Team Collaboration : Collaborate closely with other IT team members, escalating complex or specialized issues as needed, and sharing knowledge to improve overall team capabilities.
  • Proactive Improvement : Identify and recommend improvements to IT processes, tools, and services to enhance user satisfaction and operational effectiveness.
  • Continuous Learning : Actively pursue opportunities to expand technical skills, stay informed about emerging technologies, and adapt to evolving IT landscapes.
