The Desktop Support Analyst provides hands-on technology support for a high-volume warehouse and distribution operation. This role supports the technology used throughout the facility—from standard Windows desktops and laptops to shared workstations, warehouse kiosks, RF handheld devices and scanners, mobile devices, printers, and other technology critical to day-to-day warehouse operations.

This is a highly hands-on and customer-focused position. The Analyst regularly works directly with employees and equipment throughout the warehouse, troubleshooting issues where they occur and helping minimize technology-related disruptions to operations. Strong customer service is essential to this role, including the ability to listen, communicate clearly, remain patient, and provide a positive support experience for employees with varying levels of technical knowledge.

The role also partners with network, infrastructure, application, and other IT teams when issues require additional expertise or escalation.

We recognize that candidates may bring different combinations of technical experience to the role and value strong customer service, curiosity, and a willingness to learn new technologies.
