Investigate operating system, application, hardware, authentication, configuration, and network connectivity issues to identify root causes and implement lasting solutions.
Use remote support tools and on-site diagnostic methods to resolve incidents and validate service restoration.
Manage assigned tickets, including prioritization, status updates, documentation, and escalation to vendors or higher-level engineering when needed.
Provide Tier 1 technicians with troubleshooting guidance, diagnostic strategies, and resolution support.

Install, configure, replace, and validate computers, mobile devices, projectors, displays, phones, printers, and related peripherals.
Maintain accurate inventory, asset assignments, warranties, loaner equipment, spare stock, and disposal records.
Coordinate with AIG departments, campus leadership, teachers, vendors, and central IT resources to minimize downtime.

Participate in infrastructure upgrades, device refreshes, security initiatives, and technology projects.
Follow established IT procedures, security standards, and change management practices.
Perform other IT-related duties as assigned.
