About this role

The IT Support Technician I is an entry-level technical support role responsible for frontline incident response, break/fix support, routine administrative support tasks, and hands-on participation in IT projects across assigned facilities. This position is designed to develop quickly into a fully independent support role through structured exposure to end-user support, technical systems, project work, and cross-site operational responsibilities.

The IT Support Technician I provides support for all user populations, including executive and VIP users, and is expected to deliver professional, timely, and well-documented service across a broad range of end-user technologies. While the role is developmental in nature, it is not limited to basic ticket intake. The position includes routine administrative actions within support-governed systems, standardized technical execution, and increasing ownership of incidents and project tasks as the employee gains proficiency.

This role is intentionally weighted toward incident response and break/fix work while also contributing to project execution, support readiness, and operational continuity across multiple facilities. The IT Support Technician I must be adaptable, customer-focused, coachable, and capable of growing rapidly into broader technical independence.

This position will be based in our Austin office with travel two days a week to our Rockdale location.
