Technical Consultant – PC Desktop, network and Network Support - Lake Bluff, IL Do you enjoy solving a wide range of problems each day; working in different environments, meeting people and getting items crossed off your list? What if you could do that in a business casual environment where you are learning from skilled and experienced experts to develop your skills into new areas and helping you to solve problems faster? Due to company growth, we are looking for a computer/network consultant who can troubleshoot, diagnose and repair office desktops, laptops, peripherals, networks, servers and proprietary systems. The work is as varied as our clients’ situations, one day you’re moving servers and user machines to a new office, the next day knocking off minor issues in a professional office, by the end of the week you’re updating the firewall and servers in a manufacturing facility; but whatever the task you will need to use your experience and judgment to leave those systems functioning well so people can do their jobs. But you aren’t on your own, you will be working with a team that includes highly experienced and skilled people. So when you get stuck, there is someone on your team to call. If you are doing something for your first time (which happens a lot), there are procedures to guide you. They will also call you when you can help them out, or have worked on systems that they haven’t. There is a catch though; it’s not all about the computers. In order to be successful in this role you will need to be able to work closely with users, often very frustrated and confused users. Our clients aren’t stupid, but the computers make them feel that way – they want you to make them feel better (and to make the computer work). This also means that sometimes you will need to stay a little late, or start a little early in order to make sure the users can do their work. This is a tough challenge, but we are willing to provide a growth path for candidates that have both the computer skills and people skills to succeed. We are a small organization so you will get daily access to the top people in the organization – training and opportunities you wouldn’t see for years in a larger organization. We also encourage each team member to develop deep skills in an area that they really enjoy, becoming the expert we can all learn from. Candidates must permanently reside in the Chicago Illinois area, northern suburbs preferred. If you have some college and have demonstrated experience solving computer, network and peripheral issues in a business environment, especially in a consulting role please submit your cover letter and resume to Illinoiscomputerjobs@gmail.com.
