Description

About the Role


We’re looking for a hands-on IT Support Specialist to help keep our growing car wash business running smoothly. This role blends corporate help desk support with in-the-field troubleshooting when our sites need extra support.




In our environment, uptime is everything. When a tunnel goes down or team members are locked out of their accounts, operations stall and revenue is impacted. Your mission is simple: move fast, troubleshoot effectively, and get our teams back online with minimal downtime.




If you enjoy solving problems, working in a fast-paced environment, and seeing the direct impact of your work on daily operations, you’ll thrive here.


What You’ll Do


Help Desk Support (HQ & Sites)



  • Serve as the first point of contact for IT issues across corporate and field teams.

  • Receive, troubleshoot, resolve, and thoroughly document support tickets.

  • Support Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint), Windows 11, desktop issues, software installations, browser problems, and printer troubleshooting.

  • Maintain strong ticket documentation and help build and improve runbooks to streamline recurring issue resolution.


Field Support


When remote troubleshooting isn’t enough, you’ll head on-site.



  • Travel to locations to resolve issues such as tunnel outages, iPad problems, WiFi failures, and other operational disruptions.

  • Diagnose power issues, network outages, and software application problems.

  • Troubleshoot and support POS systems, kiosks, receipt printers, tablets, barcode scanners, cameras, and NVR systems.

  • Swap cables, replace peripherals, deploy new equipment, and perform basic connectivity checks.

  • Open and manage tickets with vendors and ISPs, provide detailed documentation, and drive issues through full resolution.

  • Maintain spare equipment and ready-to-go kits (cables, adapters, peripherals) so you can respond quickly when something breaks.


Networking (Foundational Level)


You don’t need to be a network engineer, but you should be comfortable with the basics:



  • Running ping tests and interpreting results

  • Reviewing ipconfig output

  • Troubleshooting DHCP, DNS, and WiFi issues

  • Triage and escalate more complex networking problems when needed


Not part of this role: Component-level hardware repair or server administration — those are handled by other members of the IT team.



Requirements

What We’re Looking For



  • 1–3 years of help desk, desktop support, or field IT experience (multi-site experience is a plus).

  • Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Windows 11 troubleshooting.

  • Solid understanding of basic networking concepts (IP, DHCP, DNS, WiFi).

  • Clear and calm communication skills — especially when working with frustrated users.

  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize multiple active issues.

  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to site locations.




Nice to Have



  • Experience supporting POS systems or working in retail/multi-site environments.

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, or MDM tools.

  • Experience working with ISPs and vendors, with strong documentation habits.

  • ITIL background or structured ticketing discipline.




Physical Requirements



  • Ability to remain in a stationary seated or standing position for various increments of time

  • Able to move about to access a variety of tools and office equipment

  • Able to consistently operate a computer or other electronic device

  • Able to ascend or descend a ladder, crouch or crawl

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, lift over head, twist and turn body when appropriate

  • Must be able to communicate clearly through both verbal and written form
