• Make outbound calls to vendors and technical support lines as needed to resolve issues.
• Assist with physical IT work, including equipment installs that may require lifting up to 50 lbs and working from a lift at heights of 30+ feet or more.
• Travel between Building 1 and Building 4 as needed for support calls or project work (personal vehicle recommended, though not required).
• Help maintain an organized, functional IT office/workspace.
• Proactively identify and pick up new work rather than waiting to be assigned — this role rewards self-starters.
