Desktop Support Technician
Location- Frankfort, Sandy Hook, Pikeville
Pay Rate- $18-20/an hour
About the Opportunity
Kentucky state government agencies regularly need customer-focused Desktop Support Technicians to provide onsite and field-based technical support across state offices. This posting is used to build a qualified candidate pipeline ahead of specific openings across multiple agency locations and field service regions.
Position Summary
The Desktop Support Technician provides hands-on end-user technical support for state agency staff, including hardware and software troubleshooting, equipment deployment, and technology asset management. The role requires strong technical fundamentals paired with excellent customer service skills, as technicians regularly interface directly with a diverse, non-technical user base — in person, and in some cases remotely across a broader geographic region.
Core Responsibilities
- Provide desktop and end-user support for hardware, software, and peripheral devices
- Configure, deploy, install, and maintain computer equipment and related technology assets
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues involving workstations, laptops, printers, software applications, and network connectivity
- Perform basic network troubleshooting as needed
- Manage and document incidents and service requests through a ticketing system (ServiceNow preferred)
- Assist with equipment moves, upgrades, replacements, and technology refresh initiatives
- Maintain accurate inventory and documentation of hardware and software assets
- Escalate complex issues appropriately and collaborate with other IT teams to ensure prompt resolution
- Deliver timely, professional support across multiple agency locations or an assigned regional territory
Required Qualifications
- Excellent customer service, interpersonal, and communication skills
- 1-2+ years of hands-on experience in desktop support, including installation, troubleshooting, and repair in a Windows-based environment

- Experience using IT ticketing systems, with ServiceNow preferred
- Strong troubleshooting skills for both hardware and software issues
- Basic network troubleshooting skills
- Ability to work effectively under pressure and manage multiple priorities
- Ability to provide professional support to a diverse user base
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous experience supporting enterprise desktop environments
- Experience working in a government, public sector, or multi-agency environment
- Familiarity with Windows operating systems, Microsoft Office products, and common desktop technologies

- Comfort supporting users both remotely and in person across multiple locations
