IT Support Specialist; L3

Position: IT Support Specialist (L3)
We are looking for a proactive and customer-focused IT Desktop Support Engineer to support our corporate staff with their day-to-day IT needs. You will be the first point of contact for end-user technical issues and will own the IT side of employee onboarding and offboarding. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone early in their IT career who wants a clear path to grow into a specialised engineering role.
Excellent English communication — both spoken and written — is mandatory for this role, as you will interact directly with corporate users every day. This role works an early shift, 4:00 AM to 1:00 PM IST.

Key Responsibilities

• End-User / Desktop Support:  Act as the first point of contact for corporate staff, resolving day-to-day IT issues across laptops, desktops, peripherals, and standard software.

• Ticket Management:  Log, track, prioritise, and resolve support tickets within agreed SLAs; escalate complex issues to senior engineers and follow through to closure.

• Onboarding & Offboarding:  Own the IT side of joiner/mover/leaver (onboarding & offboarding) tickets — set up accounts, devices, and access so new hires are ready on day one, and securely revoke access and recover hardware when employees exit.

• Accounts & Access:  Handle basic user provisioning, password resets, and permissions in Microsoft 365 and Active Directory (under guidance).

• Software & Devices:  Install, configure, and update Windows/macOS systems and standard corporate applications; support email, printers, and collaboration tools.

• Basic Networking:  Troubleshoot basic office Wi-Fi, VPN, and connectivity issues.

• Asset Support:  Help maintain an accurate inventory of IT assets, licenses, and warranties.

• Documentation:  Keep tickets updated clearly and contribute to internal how-to guides and knowledge base articles.
Requirements & Qualifications

• Communication (mandatory):  Excellent verbal and written English is a must — you must be able to explain technical issues clearly and patiently to non-technical users.

•

Experience:

3–6 years in desktop support, IT helpdesk, or end-user support.

• Hardware/Software:  Hands-on troubleshooting of Windows and/or macOS and common corporate applications (MS Office / Microsoft 365).

• Cloud/Directory:  Basic familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Active Directory user administration.

• Networking:  Understanding of basic networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN).

• Attitude:  Customer-service mindset, patience, and strong problem-solving skills.

• Team Player (mandatory):  A genuine team player who collaborates well, shares knowledge, and supports teammates to get the job done.

• Shift:  Willing and able to work the early morning shift (4:00 AM – 1:00 PM IST).

Certifications (preferred, not mandatory)

• CompTIA A+

• Microsoft 365 Fundamentals

• ITIL Foundation / CCNA (foundational)

Career Growth Path
This is a role with a clear future. After 2–3 years of strong performance — and on completion of a defined professional certification path — you will have the opportunity to be promoted into a specialised role such as System Administrator, Network Engineer, Cyber Security Engineer, or another position aligned with your strengths and interests.
