The Technical Engineer, Executive Support provides high‑touch, white‑glove desktop and endpoint support for C‑level executives and their staff in the Seattle office. The role pairs advanced Windows endpoint troubleshooting with strong customer service and discretion, delivering a premium support experience while protecting the stability, security, and performance of executive devices. It also owns audio‑visual and conferencing readiness for executive meetings and events, and coordinates with the Managed IT Services Provider on endpoint deployment and lifecycle management through Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM/MECM).

The ideal candidate has extensive hands‑on experience supporting Windows 10/11 and Microsoft 365 in an enterprise environment, advanced troubleshooting skills, and the judgment to support senior leadership with minimal supervision.

Here’s a summary of what Holland America Line is looking for. Is this you?

• Provide high‑touch, white‑glove desktop and endpoint support to C‑level executives and their supporting staff, resolving hardware, software, and connectivity issues quickly and with discretion.

• Coordinate with the Managed IT Services Provider on SCCM/MECM execution (software deployment, patching, compliance, imaging, and provisioning), validating deployment quality on executive endpoints and escalating client‑health and deployment issues.
• Maintain the endpoint security posture on executive devices, including disk encryption, endpoint protection, conditional‑access compliance, and patch currency, and recommend safeguards where gaps appear.
