The Hardware-Centric IT Asset Management contractor is a hands‑on operational role dedicated to ensuring Milwaukee County has a complete, accurate, and continuously validated inventory of all physical technology assets. This position focuses primarily on field verification, device tracking, hardware lifecycle processes, inventory processes and ensuring that what exists physically across County facilities is fully and precisely represented in Manage Engine Service Desk Plus (SDP) and the CMDB.

The contractor works closely with the Service Operations Manager and team, Business Analysts, Security team, and Infrastructure teams to maintain disciplined stewardship of desktops, laptops, tablets, printers, POS equipment, networking devices, specialized operational hardware, and other embedded digital systems.

This hardware-centric position establishes the physical foundation for a mature, accurate, and automated IT Asset Management program. Through detailed fieldwork—tracking, validating, tagging, reconciling, and monitoring hardware across County facilities—the contractor strengthens the CMDB, reduces operational risk, improves troubleshooting efficiency, and supports cost-optimized lifecycle decisions.

Ultimately, this role ensures that every physical technology asset in Milwaukee County is known, verified, properly maintained, and strategically managed.
