Level 1 Support Technician

No, 'have you tried turning it off and on again?' is not beneath you here — it's literally step one...  

We're looking for a Tier 1 Help Desk Specialist who combines a great attitude with a genuine passion for helping people. This is an entry-level role with constant client interaction, supporting small to mid-sized businesses and keeping their technology running smoothly.
They are a growing Managed Services Provider known for their responsive, people-first approach to IT support. Their clients count on them not just for technical fixes, but for a team that communicates clearly and treats every issue with care.
Attitude and customer service come first. Technical skills and tools can be taught — what matters most is genuinely enjoying helping people, staying calm under pressure, and bringing a strong work ethic. Don't have experience with the exact software listed below? Apply anyway! The one thing we really need is some prior experience in a support/helpdesk role.

📍 Fully remote | 3–6 month contract, with the possibility of extending further.

• →Be the first point of contact for client issues via phone, email, and automated alerts.
• →Triage tickets: identify the problem, assess severity, and escalate when needed.
