Desktop Support Engineer

About the Role

Drive fast, accurate triage of new incoming ServiceNow tickets. Analyze and structure each ticket, populate key fields, attach relevant KB articles, perform brief troubleshooting and data collection, and decide to resolve or escalate. If an issue is likely to take more than 15 minutes to resolve, escalate to the appropriate engineering team.

What You’ll Do

• Review new ServiceNow tickets, confirm Incident vs. Request classification, and check for duplicates
• Assess scope and impact, including how many users are affected, which locations are involved, and which services are impacted
• Populate all required ServiceNow fields accurately
• Attach relevant Knowledge Base articles and record clear Work Notes, including steps performed, data collected, and hypotheses
• Identify the problem layer: network, software, hardware, identity/access, or external service dependency
• Resolve simple issues within 15 minutes; otherwise escalate to the correct resolver group
• Escalate to engineering teams for hardware issues, onsite or local office support, device provisioning, and incidents requiring deep troubleshooting
• Monitor SLA compliance and queue health; proactively prevent stuck, aging, or misrouted tickets
• Improve Knowledge Base accuracy and triage workflows by proposing enhancements to categorization and assignment mappings
• Communicate concisely with end users and resolver teams, setting appropriate expectations and providing timely updates
• Operate within an international team environment; provide clear shift handovers and status updates

What You’ll Bring

• 2+ years of experience in IT Service Desk or Helpdesk roles (enterprise environment preferred)
• English proficiency (written and spoken)
• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms, including categorization, prioritization, Assignment Group routing, and CMDB/CI usage
• Working knowledge of Active Directory and Azure AD, including account and group management, password resets, and account unlocks
• Strong knowledge of Windows 10/11 and macOS, with experience using remote support tools (RDP, TeamViewer, etc.)
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications and service dependencies (Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive)
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP) to accurately identify the issue layer and route tickets to the correct resolver group
• Proven ability to multitask in real time, work independently under pressure, and consistently deliver high-quality customer service
• Ability to learn new products and technologies through lab environments, self-training, and vendor support resources

Bonus Skills

• ITIL Foundation, HDI, CompTIA A+, MCP, or similar certifications
• Experience with incident monitoring and alerting systems
• PowerShell scripting for rapid data collection and short diagnostics (strictly within triage scope)
• Experience applying Impact and Urgency matrices and maintaining accurate CI relationships

What You’ll Get
