Job Description
Position Overview
The IT Field Engineer is the face of PCH Technologies in the field, deploying to client sites for hands on PC and laptop installations, replacements, and onsite troubleshooting, plus network equipment deployments.

This role is focused on PC deployment, hardware refreshes, endpoint setup, onsite troubleshooting, and small business networking.
This is a high autonomy role for someone who thrives on variety: one day you are prepping and deploying a fleet of laptops and cutting over a firewall, the next you are resolving remote tickets and documenting a network closet.
