    We're a small, experienced team, which means our technicians get hands-on exposure to a wide variety of clients, environments, and technologies.

    We're looking for an IT Support Technician / IT Support Engineer to join our team in Schenectady. This position is a great fit for someone early in their IT career with a strong technical foundation, as well as an experienced Level 1 or Level 2 technician looking to expand their skills in an MSP environment.

    Opportunities for professional growth and hands-on experience across a wide range of IT technologies

    What You'll Do

    You'll work directly with our clients and technical team to troubleshoot everyday IT problems, maintain client environments, and assist with technology deployments and projects.

    Responsibilities include:

    Provide remote, phone, and onsite technical support

    Troubleshoot Windows desktops and laptops

    Support Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and related applications

    Create and manage Microsoft 365 users, licenses, permissions, and MFA

    Troubleshoot printers, scanners, and other peripherals

    Diagnose internet, Wi-Fi, VPN, and general network connectivity issues

    Set up and deploy new computers and other hardware

    Assist with Windows Server and Active Directory environments

    Support firewalls, switches, wireless access points, and other network equipment

    Troubleshoot software and line-of-business applications

    Assist with endpoint security, backups, email security, and other cybersecurity solutions

    Document work and maintain accurate service tickets

    Travel to client locations throughout the Capital Region when onsite assistance is required

    Work alongside senior engineers on larger projects, migrations, and deployments

    What We're Looking For

    You don't need to be an expert in everything. We're looking for someone with a good technical foundation who enjoys troubleshooting, communicates well, and wants to continue learning.

    Ideal candidates will have:

    Basic to intermediate Windows troubleshooting skills

    Familiarity with Microsoft 365

    Basic networking knowledge, including IP addressing, DNS, DHCP, Wi-Fi, and VPNs

    Experience installing and troubleshooting computer hardware and software

    Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills

    Good written and verbal communication skills

    A professional and friendly approach when working with clients

    Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities

    Willingness to learn new technologies

    Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for client visits

    Previous experience at an MSP, IT help desk, computer repair business, or internal IT department is a plus, but it is not required. We're open to candidates with less professional experience who can demonstrate strong technical aptitude and a desire to learn.

    Relevant IT education, certifications, internships, homelab experience, or other hands-on technical experience will also be considered.

    Technologies You'll Work With

    Microsoft 365

    Huntress

    Microsoft Teams

    VoIP systems

    Cloud and local backup solutions

    Email security platforms

    Business networking and Wi-Fi

    You don't need experience with every product on this list. We'll help you learn our tools, systems, and processes.

    Why Join Omnis?

    At Omnis, you won't be limited to resetting passwords or working the same type of ticket every day.

    You'll work alongside experienced engineers and gain real-world experience across Microsoft 365, networking, cybersecurity, servers, cloud services, VoIP, and business IT infrastructure.

    For someone early in their IT career, this is an opportunity to develop practical skills quickly. For an experienced Level 1 or Level 2 technician, it's an opportunity to take on more responsibility and continue developing into a well-rounded IT engineer.
