Full-Time Desktop Technician (Tier 1 ) for our Responsive Services Group
Job Description
Who are We?
Macktez is a small technology company with a close-knit culture that has grown at a slow but deliberate pace over the past two decades. We work with many nonprofits in the parks and service industries as well as numerous arts foundations and organizations, designers and architects, and have worked with numerous innovative startups. We measured our relationships with clients in decades.
Additionally, many of our Team have been with us for five years or more, a few more than a decade, and a number have moved up from assistant roles to senior staff positions. Also, it is not uncommon for team members to move on to new opportunities and then be welcomed back years later with new and different skills to contribute.
You can expect to join a group of diverse, hard working Team Members who are passionate about technology, and enjoy solving problems collaboratively. We welcome applications with unusual backgrounds with an expectation that candidates have acquired hard and soft skills, and will bring their own unique perspective to the table.

Technical Skills
– The right candidate has interest in providing desktop and remote support, and a desire to expand knowledge base and skills through on-site training. (Note that this role is partially remote but requires time on-site in our office and may require visits to client offices.)
– Working knowledge of ticketing systems is helpful but not required.
– Comfort with authoring and updating technical documentation
