Systems Engineer - Columbia SC - Cantey Technology Consulting,
Columbia, SC
About the Job
Cantey Tech Consulting helps our clients with IT so they can focus on running their business, law firm, or medical practice. We also do a lot of work with school districts.
Big picture- We do all sorts of things, from designing networks to providing ongoing maintenance; we are the company that our clients call for everything from basic PC support to hosted solutions to security to network management. Some clients want to push the envelope with new technologies, and some want to keep costs minimal.
In this role, we are onsite approximately 80% of the time and provide remote support from home 20% of the time. We typically work around 45 hours per week, although sometimes we work longer and later. (In IT support, things can go crazy, and we have to work late sometimes.) Our office support hours are 8 AM until 6 PM. I would be lying if I said those were cushy hours playing World of Warcraft while listening to clients talk about email problems on the phone. That's not our day- we are busting it to help our clients and move on to the next problem. We are on call after hours about one week every six months. On-call is no fun, but on-call comes with the job.
We are looking for great people who are excited about technology and enjoy dealing directly with clients. We're fanatics about client service. We run a responsive and professional operation and love what we do. (OK, we don't love it every day, but most days we do.) We're not looking for people who can't handle IT issues independently or hate working with other humans. We want to build our team with people who want to learn about the latest technology and contribute to our team. Every day is different over here, and you have to learn quickly and go with it. Now for the boring requirements . . .
Basic Skills: Outstanding client-facing communications and troubleshooting skills, Detail orientation, and the discipline to do proper documentation and keep track of billable time. (This is really important. Again, this is really important.)
