A Service Desk professional forms the foundation of an organization's IT support structure. As the first point of contact for users experiencing technical issues or seeking assistance, this role is pivotal in ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and delivering excellent customer service. The Service Desk technician is responsible for logging, diagnosing, and resolving basic technical problems, escalating more complex issues, and maintaining clear communication throughout the resolution process.

Position Responsibilities

• Offer initial assistance to users via phone, email, or ticketing systems. Address common issues such as password resets, software installation, printer problems, and basic network troubleshooting.
• Accurately log all service requests, incidents, and inquiries into the IT service management platform, ensuring detailed information is captured for each ticket.
• Diagnose and resolve simple technical problems following established procedures and scripts. Provide step-by-step guidance to users to resolve routine issues.

• Communicate clearly and professionally with users, demonstrating patience, empathy, and understanding. Deliver consistent updates on the status of their requests.
• Consult and contribute to the documentation of known issues, resolutions, and frequently asked questions in the organization's knowledge base.
• Ensure all tickets are resolved in a timely manner, following up with users to confirm resolution and satisfaction, and closing tickets upon completion.
