Full description

We seek a hands-on and service-driven IT Specialist to be the first line of defense for all technology-related issues. This role will focus heavily on providing exceptional 1st-level support to internal users, ensuring quick resolution of hardware, software, and network-related incidents. In addition, the successful candidate will take primary responsibility for implementing and maintaining structured cabling across our facilities, ensuring the physical infrastructure supports our growing operations. While day-to-day responsibilities will center on end-user support and structured cabling, the role also requires knowledge of our broader IT systems, including Microsoft Azure, Fortigate firewalls, Atlassian tools, and ClickUp. The ideal candidate will be proactive, responsive, and eager to support people and infrastructure in a fast-paced, technical environment.

The selected candidate will be responsible for:

• Provide user support and technical administration for Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence) and ClickUp, ensuring alignment with internal processes.
• Design, install, and maintain structured cabling systems including data drops, patch panels, and network closets.
• Support Microsoft Azure infrastructure, including virtual machines, identity management, and security configurations.
• Perform regular cabling and network hardware audits to ensure organization, performance, and compliance with best practices.
• Monitor and troubleshoot hardware and software issues across workstations, servers, and peripheral devices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support project rollouts and meet IT requirements.
• Create and maintain documentation related to system configurations, network layouts, and cabling diagrams.
• Ensure cybersecurity policies and procedures are followed across all systems.
• Procure employee and customer hardware.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in IT support or systems administration.
• Strong experience with Microsoft Azure (Active Directory, VM management, security).
• Hands-on experience with Fortigate firewalls and general network security practices.
• Proficient in managing and configuring Atlassian tools and ClickUp.
• Experience in planning, implementing, and maintaining structured cabling (Cat5e/6, fiber optics preferred).
• Knowledge of network protocols, switching, and routing fundamentals.
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently or as part of a team.
• Relevant certifications (CompTIA Network+, Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator, Fortinet NSE) are a plus.

Salary Range : $30-32 / hr
