The Role We Want You For

This role requires the ability to translate field requests into workable technical designs and to prioritize tickets according to business impact.

• Work with ISP vendors and managed services partners to resolve technical problems.
• Partner with Service Desk, Device Support, Engineering, VDC, and Development teams to resolve local and remote client issues.

Documentation, Training & Continuous Improvement

• Create and maintain training materials and knowledge base articles.
• Provide training on software, hardware, and systems to Clayco team members.
• Use diagnostic utilities, knowledge bases, and internet resources to document troubleshooting processes others can follow.
• Identify recurring incidents, inform leadership, and provide feedback to Engineering and Development teams.
• Provide technical assistance for project planning and support.
• Contribute to company vision and direction by helping improve technical practices.
  

Requirements

• 3 to 6 years of IT experience, including prior field support or infrastructure design experience.
• Experience designing or commissioning network connectivity for data centers or similarly complex sites.
