    Who You Are:
     
    As an IT Specialist at UECo, you keep the people who build our products working. You fix the problem in front of you, then dig until you find what caused it. You write down what you learned so the next person can solve it on their own. You can walk an engineer through a new laptop setup in the morning and help a craftsman on the production floor get back into their account after lunch. You know when a problem needs to be escalated, and you hand it off with an actionable write-up. You treat your coworkers as internal clients and close what you start.
     
    A Day in the Life:

    • Resolve hardware, software, connectivity, and access issues with a white-glove, customer-focused approach.
    • Manage the ticket queue against defined response and resolution targets, and keep requesters informed along the way.
    Troubleshooting & Problem Management:
    • Diagnose root cause rather than clearing the symptom, and escalate with a clear write-up when required.
    • Investigate recurring tickets and propose the permanent fix.
    • Troubleshoot the ERP and partner with the Software Development team on application issues.
    • Support incident response during outages, including occasional after-hours events.

    • Administer SaaS platforms including Microsoft Admin Center, Meraki, Mimecast, and Google Admin.

    • This role splits time between office areas and an active manufacturing floor, with some walking, standing, bending, and kneeling to reach equipment. You may need to lift up to 10 pounds regularly, 25 frequently, and 50 occasionally with assistance. Noise levels are typical of light manufacturing.
    • Regularly travel between our Ashley River Campus (ARC - 4500 Leeds) and Cooper River Campus (CRC - 2120 Noisette) to support operations, attend meetings, and ensure seamless communication and collaboration across both locations.
