Position Summary

The Desktop Support Technician provides hands-on, customer-focused technical support for R+L Carriers users and workplace technology. This role diagnoses and resolves incidents involving Windows endpoints, business applications, peripherals, printing, and connectivity; prepares and deploys standard hardware; and ensures each user receives timely, professional service.

The technician owns assigned support work from intake through documented resolution, using the IT service-management process and established Desktop Support procedures. The role works both onsite and remotely, supports users across corporate and field locations, and collaborates with infrastructure, security, applications, service desk, vendors, and business partners when issues require escalation or coordinated action.

The Desktop Support Technician is expected to operate with sound judgment, protect company information, follow endpoint and asset-management standards, and contribute to a dependable, consistent end-user computing experience. The role combines strong troubleshooting ability with clear communication, disciplined documentation, and a willingness to improve processes that affect users and the support team.
