Job Responsibilities:
The L1 IT Support Specialist serves as the frontline face of IT for our Santa Clara office, providing reliable, professional, and fast on-site support to all onsite workers. Operating on a rotating schedule that ensures one specialist is always present during business hours, these individuals handle everything from day-to-day troubleshooting and access issues to the procurement and provisioning of equipment. They are the first point of contact for any technology need — and their speed, ownership, and professionalism directly shapes the onsite worker experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary on-site IT contact for all onsite workers, resolving Level 1 hardware, software, and connectivity issues quickly and professionally.
- Provide support across all enterprise on-premise and cloud-based systems including Office 365, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Citrix ShareFile, Okta, and related platforms.
- Troubleshoot Windows and Mac laptops and desktops, browser-based applications, peripheral devices (mice, keyboards, monitors, etc.), and common login/access issues.
- Manage Active Directory and Azure Active Directory (AAD) user and device administration.
- Manage the end-to-end procurement process for IT equipment and software licensing — submitting purchase requests, coordinating with vendors, negotiating pricing, tracking orders, and maintaining accurate inventory records.
- Provision and configure new onsite worker workstations, laptops, and peripherals, ensuring devices are ready for use on day one.
- Handle account setup, password resets, and access provisioning/deprovisioning in coordination with relevant system owners.
- Timely escalation of service desk tickets to appropriate teams and personnel when issues exceed L1 scope, with clear and documented handover notes.
- Maintain a clean, organized IT storage area with up-to-date asset tracking and equipment documentation.
- Coordinate scheduling with the second L1 specialist to ensure at least one technician is on-site at all times during business hours.
- Log all tickets, resolutions, and asset changes in the IT service management system with accuracy and timeliness.
- Ensure adherence to global IT processes, procedures, and standards, and actively contribute to their continuous improvement.
- Participate in cross-functional IT projects involving multiple teams across Welocalize locations.
