• Ability to configure, maintain, and support physical and virtual servers, storage, operating systems, and related infrastructure.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity, backup, and disaster-recovery practices, including endpoint protection, patching, access control, backup verification, and recovery concepts.
• Practical scripting, programming, reporting, or database-query experience required, such as VBA, batch files, AutoHotkey, PowerShell, SQL, Python, or similar tools.
• Ability to read, troubleshoot, modify, document, and create small practical scripts, macros, SQL queries, reports, and automation tools to support business operations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Provide hands-on technical support for company users, including PCs, laptops, printers, phones, mobile devices, software, access issues, and related peripherals.
• Administer user accounts, permissions, email, file access, printers, shared resources, and other business technology systems.
