About The Position

Americas Enterprise Technology is redefining IT operations by moving from a reactive to a proactive approach, using real-time device monitoring and analytics to anticipate and prevent issues before employees notice them. This role is part of that mission. The IT Asset Technician, within Technology Operations, manages hardware throughout its lifecycle, supports deployment and retrieval programs, and responds to tickets and service requests with speed and accuracy. While reactive work is essential, the role also involves using data and automation to stay ahead. This position offers broad exposure to Technology Operations, including asset lifecycle management, service delivery, enterprise technology systems, automation, and digital employee experience tools. As skills develop and ownership is demonstrated, there will be opportunities for expanded responsibilities, process improvements, and growth within Enterprise Technology. It is a hands-on position with significant responsibility and growth potential, ideal for someone wanting to learn and help build modern IT operations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent work experience will be considered.
1–3 years of experience in IT, technical support, or a related field.
Strong verbal and written communication skills — you can explain a technical issue clearly to someone who has no IT background.

Strong customer service orientation with the ability to communicate clearly at all levels of the organization.
Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with a precise approach to documenting issues and resolutions.
Ability to organize and prioritize work effectively in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Basic knowledge of PC hardware and software.
