What are the responsibilities and job description for the Technical Engineer I position at Greystone Technology?
Greystone Technology is looking for creative, self-accountable IT professionals to engage in our fast-paced, people-driven service model. Average IT people tend to be great at solving technical issues, but poor at understanding the true problems that need to be solved.
We’ve redesigned the way technology services are provided – from the ground up. We don’t start with solutions; we start with questions. Lots of them. Then we listen. Service providers have a well-earned reputation for sharing the answer before knowing the problem, resulting in businesses getting solutions they don’t need to problems they don’t have.
If you think differently, solve creatively, and love to connect with people, we want you to join our mission of digging deep and proving how meaningful IT services can be. It’s as common sense as it is revolutionary.
We are looking for a Technical Engineer I (in other companies this person could hold the title of Help Desk/Desk Side Support, Tier 1 Technician) to join the Managed Services team. Technical Engineer I is responsible for working with a consulting team to handle most of the day-to-day technical user requests and tickets for an assigned client base within Greystone's Managed Services team. This position requires a person who can communicate complex ideas and technology in simple everyday terms. This role will be located in our Denver, CO office.

- Supporting client end-users by troubleshooting and resolving computer, application, system, device, and access issues
- Ability to escalate issues to appropriate consultants

- Reaching a goal of maintaining 6 billable hours daily or 30 billable hours weekly
- Learning independently about our clients’ ever-changing systems
- Traveling to client locations on a daily or weekly basis, depending on clients’ needs
- Doing what it takes to create enthusiastically satisfied customers and build trust and credibility within a client group
Preferred Skills & Experience
- 2 years’ experience in an IT help desk or desktop support environment or equivalent educational experience
- Experience troubleshooting or supporting Microsoft platforms (e.g. Office 365, Active Directory, all current flavors of Windows)
- Knowledge of basic networking principles, what they mean, and how they interact (TCPIP, DNS, DHCP, LAN/WAN)
- Experience installing, troubleshooting, and maintaining peripherals (scanners, fax machines, printers, etc.)
- Experience troubleshooting standard hardware issues and running diagnostics
- An understanding of standard IT Security practices (virus remediation, firewalls, phishing, etc.)
- Basic Apple, Mac OS, and iOS troubleshooting experience a plus
- Demonstrable ability to quickly learn and support various business applications
