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/mac OS 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 mac OS 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)
