  • Working knowledge of collaboration tools, video conferencing, endpoint security and core networking concepts.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot desktop hardware, peripherals, mobile devices and common software issues independently.
  • Experience working with service-management processes, ticket queues, asset records and technical documentation.
