    2. Execute second level and at times first-level triage and escalate unresolved issues to Level 3 support (senior engineers or specialized teams) or vendor.
    3. Maintain detailed documentation of incidents, actions taken, and resolutions in the ticketing system (e.g., Jira).
  • Escalation and Communication:
    1. Follow established escalation procedures to ensure that critical incidents are promptly communicated to relevant teams.
    2. Notify stakeholders and management of high-priority incidents and provide timely updates on progress.
    3. Coordinate with external vendors and third-party service providers to resolve hardware or connectivity issues.
  • Maintenance and Optimization:
    1. Perform routine maintenance tasks, such as network and server health checks, patch management, and scheduled backups.
    2. Participate in night shift operations to ensure proactive management of the network and system performance.
    3. Identify potential areas for process improvement and recommend solutions to enhance service availability.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
    1. Maintain accurate and comprehensive incident logs and reports for post-incident review.
    2. Prepare shift handover reports detailing all incidents handled during the night shift, including status updates on unresolved issues.
    3. Update internal knowledge base with troubleshooting procedures, known issues, and resolutions.
  • Compliance and Security
    1. Ensure adherence to internal security protocols and best practices while handling sensitive data and network systems.
    2. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity and escalate potential security threats to the security team.
  • Other responsibilities:
    1. Processing and QA of purchased end-user equipment.
    2. Prepare/ship/receive loaner equipment to/from employees.
    3. Onsite deployments/retrievals of end-user equipment.
