MSP Field Technician

Description

The MSP Field Technician provides hands-on technical support and implementation services for Intermax Networks' managed service customers. This role serves as an escalation point for issues that require deeper technical troubleshooting, onsite assistance, or coordination beyond standard Help Desk support.

The Field Technician works directly with customers to diagnose and resolve workstation, application, hardware, network, and technology issues both remotely and onsite. This position also assists with customer projects, equipment deployments, technology upgrades, and other initiatives that require hands-on technical expertise.

Success in this role requires a strong combination of technical troubleshooting, customer service, communication, and personal ownership. The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently at customer locations while also collaborating closely with the Help Desk, Systems Engineers, and other technical teams.
