We are looking for a proactive and customer-focused IT Desktop Support Engineer to support our corporate staff with their day-to-day IT needs. You will be the first point of contact for end-user technical issues and will own the IT side of employee onboarding and offboarding.

This is a hands-on role ideal for someone early in their IT career who wants a clear path to grow into a specialised engineering role.

Excellent English communication — both spoken and written — is mandatory for this role, as you will interact directly with corporate users every day. This role works an early shift, 4:00 AM to 1:00 PM IST.

Key Responsibilities

- End-User / Desktop Support: Act as the first point of contact for corporate staff, resolving day-to-day IT issues across laptops, desktops, peripherals, and standard software.
- Ticket Management: Log, track, prioritise, and resolve support tickets within agreed SLAs;

escalate complex issuesto senior engineers and follow through to closure.

- Onboarding & Offboarding: Own the IT side of joiner/mover/leaver (onboarding & offboarding) tickets — set up accounts, devices, and access so new hires are ready on day one, and securely revoke access and recover hardware when employees exit.
- Accounts & Access: Handle basic user provisioning, password resets, and permissions in Microsoft 365 and Active Directory (under guidance).
- Software & Devices: Install, configure, and update Windows/macOS systems and standard corporate applications;

support email, printers, and collaboration tools.

- Basic Networking: Troubleshoot basic office Wi-Fi, VPN, and connectivity issues.
- Asset Support: Help maintain an accurate inventory of IT assets, licenses, and warranties.
- Documentation: Keep tickets updated clearly and contribute to internal how-to guides and knowledge base articles.

Requirements & Qualifications

- Communication (mandatory):



Excellent verbal and written English is a must — you must be able to explain technical issues clearly and patiently to non-technical users.
- Experience: 3–6 years in desktop support, IT helpdesk, or end-user support.
- Hardware/Software: Hands-on troubleshooting of Windows and/or macOS and common corporate applications (MS Office / Microsoft 365).
- Cloud/Directory: Basic familiarity with Microsoft 365 and Active Directory user administration.
- Networking: Understanding of basic networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN).
- Attitude: Customer-service mindset, patience, and strong problem-solving skills.
- Team Player (mandatory): A genuine team player who collaborates well, shares knowledge, and supports teammates to get the job done.
