Job Description

A managed IT services provider in Welkom needs a calm tech who can help frustrated users get back to work. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

  • Working knowledge of Windows 10 and 11 and Microsoft 365

Nice if you have

  • Experience with Intune or SCCM for device management
  • Experience supporting point-of-sale or medical devices

What's in it for you

  • Company laptop and cellphone
  • Paid certification exams after probation
  • Travel allowance for field technicians
