Palm Coast, FL
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    A growing specialty healthcare client of ours is seeking a motivated, detail-oriented IT professional to provide on-site Tier 1 and Tier 2 help desk and desk-side support. This role is critical to maintaining optimal system performance for up to 50 end-users, ensuring swift resolution of hardware, software, and network issues. The ideal candidate thrives in a Microsoft 365-centric environment, enjoys hands-on problem-solving, and values predictable, consistent scheduling.

    This is a part-time position (24-30 hours per week) that will be on-site in their Palm Coast office 3 days a week.

    Why this role stands out:

    • Consistent Schedule, No On-Call: This role offers a predictable, part-time schedule (Mon/Wed/Fri) with no on-call or weekend work, making it ideal for someone seeking stability and work-life balance.

    • Own the Local Site: As the sole on-site IT contact, you'll play a critical role in owning support for the entire office while being backed by a remote Tier 3 team. You’ll get visibility, trust, and the opportunity to take initiative.

    • Low Red Tape, High Trust: Leadership fosters an environment of autonomy and support. If you’re dependable and communicative, you’ll have the freedom to do your job without micromanagement.

    • Established Infrastructure: You’re walking into a well-structured environment with clear escalation paths, documentation, and proven systems (e.g., Desk365, AD, GoToConnect).

    • Opportunity for Growth: You’ll be supporting a fast-growing organization with a management team that prioritizes employee development and advancement.

    The Role You’ll Play
    As the Part-Time IT Help Desk Associate, you will be the primary boots-on-the-ground resource in their Palm Coast office. You’ll handle the bulk of Tier 1–2 support events and escalate higher-level issues to the central IT team at headquarters as needed. This position supports mission-critical office operations and contributes to a high-growth organization’s IT stability.

    • Desk-Side Support: Provide hands-on assistance for desktops, laptops, and peripherals; troubleshoot hardware failures, imaging, and hardware refresh activities.

    • Help Desk (Tier 1 & 2): Triage tickets in Desk 365, resolve standard issues (password resets, network drive access), and escalate as needed.

    • User & Security Group Administration: Manage Active Directory accounts, password resets, and group memberships in compliance with security policies.

    • Asset & Inventory Management: Maintain accurate hardware/software inventories; coordinate equipment procurement and decommissioning.

    • VPN & Remote Access Support: Assist users with site-to-site and client VPN connectivity to hosted servers.

    • Escalation & Collaboration: Work closely with the central IT hub for ticket triage and complex troubleshooting.

    • Be the Go-To Resource: Act as the first line of support for all IT issues on-site, building strong relationships with local users and gaining visibility into all facets of IT operations.

    • Partner with a Senior IT Team: Regularly interface with a centralized IT group for deeper-level triage and support. Great exposure to enterprise-level systems without the burnout.

    • Contribute to Process Improvement: Help shape ticketing, escalation, and documentation processes at the local level as the company overall continues to grow.

    • Flexibility & Reliability: Maintain a predictable schedule (Mon/Wed/Fri, ~8 AM–4 PM) with advance notice of any adjustments.

    Background Profile:

    We’re looking for a self-starter who can work independently, communicate clearly, and juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. The ideal candidate is professional, approachable, and eager to solve problems face-to-face with end users. You must be dependable, responsive, and confident, working independently while representing the IT team.

    • 1–2 years of help desk, desktop support, or IT generalist experience.

    • Proficiency with Windows OS, Microsoft 365, and basic networking (SMB, VPN).

    • Strong customer-service orientation and verbal/written communication skills.

    • Ability to lift and install desktop hardware; comfortable working in a standard office setting.

    • High integrity, maturity, and ability to own tasks through to completion.

    Preferred (nice to have)

    • Microsoft365 Fundamentals (MS-900) or CompTIA?Security+ certification.

    • Experience with Kaseya, DattoRMM, ManageEngine, or TrueNAS.

    • Familiarity with the Desk365 ticketing system.
