* Manage and troubleshoot Windows networks, including on-premises Active Directory (AD) domains.
* Support Microsoft 365 services such as email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams, ensuring seamless integration and user adoption.

* Perform routine maintenance to prevent downtime and enhance system performance.
* Liaise directly with clients to understand their needs, explain technical solutions in simple terms, and build lasting professional relationships.
* Escalate complex issues to remote teams, when necessary, while owning the onsite resolution process.
* Document support activities, track tickets, and contribute to knowledge bases for improved service delivery.
The ideal candidate will have:
* Proven experience as an IT Support Engineer or in a similar onsite support role, with strong expertise in Windows environments and Microsoft technologies.
* In-depth knowledge of on-premises AD domains, Microsoft 365 (including Exchange Online, OneDrive, and SharePoint), and common networking principles.
* Excellent troubleshooting skills for hardware (desktops, laptops, peripherals) and software issues.
* Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills – you'll be working closely with clients, so the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and patiently is essential.
* Self-motivated and able to work independently as the sole onsite representative, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
* Relevant degrees or certifications are highly desirable.
