• Identify issues requiring escalation to device management, networking, security, infrastructure, or application teams.
• Act as the primary escalation point for challenging technical and customer-service issues.
• Mentor, train, and provide daily technical guidance to IT support professionals.
• Plan and coordinate endpoint refreshes, device deployments, technology rollouts, and other service-delivery projects.
• Work with stakeholders to assess technology requirements and recommend appropriate hardware and endpoint solutions.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, support procedures, checklists, tutorials, and training materials.
• Monitor recurring incidents and recommend improvements to support processes, technology standards, and service delivery.
• Travel to organizational sites within Vancouver as required.
