Requisition ID: 66293

Help Desk Representative

Client: TN Metro-ITS

Duration: 8+ Months

Location: 700 President Ronald Reagan Way   Nashville,     37219

Onsite

Role Overview

• Metro ITS is looking for a Help Desk Technician to join our 24x7x365 Tier 1 Help Desk team. The Help Desk is the first point of contact for Metro Nashville employees who need technical assistance. We support customers by phone, email, and service portal.
• The technician will troubleshoot, resolve, document, and escalate technical issues and service requests. The work can range from simple password and account issues to Windows, Microsoft 365, Outlook, hardware, printers, connectivity, and application problems.
• Prior Help Desk experience is helpful, but it is not required. We are more interested in finding someone who is curious, willing to learn, can work through a problem, and genuinely wants to build a career in IT.

What You'll Do

• Provide Tier 1 technical support by phone, email, and service portal.
• Troubleshoot common hardware, software, Windows, Microsoft 365, Outlook, account, access, connectivity, printer, and application issues.
• Listen to the customer, ask good questions, and work through problems logically.
• Research unfamiliar issues using knowledge articles, documentation, vendor resources, and other approved sources.
• Document customer interactions, troubleshooting, and resolutions accurately in the service management system.
• Take ownership of assigned incidents and service requests through resolution or appropriate escalation.
• Provide another support team with the information they need when an issue needs to be escalated.
• Learn and follow Help Desk procedures, security requirements, and established processes.
• Take part in training, knowledge sharing, and efforts to improve how the Help Desk works.
• Support your teammates and contribute to a positive team environment.

What We're Looking For

• We are not looking for a resume that simply checks a list of technical boxes. We are looking for someone who wants to learn and figure things out.

The right candidate:

• Is curious about technology and wants to understand how things work.
• Enjoys solving problems and figuring out why something is not working.
