About The Position

The Endpoint Deployment Technician is responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of work-at-home endpoints — from building new assets to performing thorough quality assurance testing before equipment reaches employees. This role serves as the primary point of contact for new work-at-home endpoint requests, new hire class deployments, and required inventory management. The incumbent must be proactive in identifying potential issues, take independent ownership of their work, and maintain productive relationships across IT and partner departments. The ideal candidate finds satisfaction in doing the work well, takes pride in their work, and approaches each task with the same care and precision as the last. This position is on-site at our Bloomington, IL headquarters.
