TES Staffing is partnering with a well-established Managed IT Services company to find an experienced IT Support Engineer who enjoys tackling complex technical challenges while delivering exceptional customer service.

This isn't a call center or an entry-level help desk.

• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Exceptional attention to detail
• A valid driver's license
• Willingness to travel locally to customer sites as needed
