Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled, customer-focused IT professional to serve as the senior-most escalation point for end-user technical support across our 170+ person engineering design firm. This is fundamentally a people-first role: the ideal candidate is someone who genuinely enjoys solving problems for users, communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical staff, and takes ownership of issues through to resolution.
You will operate within a Microsoft-centric environment (Windows, M365, Azure) and work collaboratively with external IT consultants who manage backend infrastructure and cloud architecture. Your job is not to design or engineer those systems; it's to deeply understand them, support the people who depend on them, and be the final internal resource when standard help desk support can't resolve an issue.
Core Responsibilities-
Serve as the Tier 3 escalation point for all end-user IT support across Windows, M365, and Azure-integrated services
-
Diagnose and resolve complex user-facing issues related to endpoints, authentication, cloud applications, and connectivity
-
Act as the internal liaison with external network and cloud consultants during implementations, maintenance windows, and incident response — translating technical changes into user impact and support readiness
-
Maintain working knowledge of the firm's Azure/M365 environment sufficient to support users and coordinate effectively with consultants
- Develop and maintain internal documentation, known issue logs, and support procedures
-
Support onboarding and offboarding of staff, including account provisioning, device setup, and access management
What We're Looking For
Customer service & communication-
Demonstrated history of excellent end-user support — patient, clear, and solutions-oriented
-
Comfortable supporting non-technical users in a fast-paced professional environment
-
Ability to set expectations, communicate status, and follow through on open issues
Technical proficiency-
Strong working knowledge of Windows desktop OS, M365 applications (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive), and Azure AD / Entra ID
-
Experience supporting hybrid environments (cloud + on-prem)
-
Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning endpoints, user authentication, access/permissions, and cloud-based applications
-
Familiarity with endpoint management tools (e.g., Intune or similar MDM platforms)
Nice to have (not required)-
Exposure to tools common in AEC or engineering environments (e.g., Autodesk products, large file workflows, CAD/BIM application support)
-
Experience in a professional services or design/engineering firm setting
Work Environment-
Hybrid (NYC area) — minimum 2 days/week in office, with increased on-site presence expected during any new hire onboarding
-
Occasional after-hours availability for critical incidents
What This Role Is Not -
This is not a network engineering or cloud architecture position. We have consulting partners who own infrastructure design, Azure backend configuration, and network management. We need someone who can work effectively alongside those partners — not replace them.
