IT Helpdesk Technician (Tier 2; Networking & M365 Exp. Req.)

[HYBRID] IT Support Technician (Tier 2) Location: Akron, OH; Hybrid Flexibility after 3-6 months Salary: $65,000-$75,000 Benefits: Medical, Vision, Dental, 401k, Holidays, PTO, Paid Certification and Training Programs, Compensation Growth Through Certifications Job Type: Full-Time Typical Hours: M-F, 8am-5pm Great Work/Life Balance! Sponsorship is not available [HYBRID] IT Support Technician (Tier 2) Description Our client, a growing MSP, is seeking IT Support Technicians (Tier 2) to join their team in Akron. You'll spend about 75% of your time supporting end users and resolving tickets, with the remainder focused on troubleshooting systems, servers, networking, and security issues. We are looking for someone who enjoys both sides of the role: helping users while also solving more complex technical problems. This is more than traditional Help Desk work, with the opportunity to independently troubleshoot Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Group Policy, Windows Server, DNS/DHCP, networking, and security issues beyond basic password resets and workstation support. Whether you've worked in an MSP environment or an internal IT department, they're looking for someone who enjoys variety, wants to continue developing their technical skillset, and is hungry to grow. The company invests heavily in employee development, including paying for certifications and rewarding employees financially as they build their technical skillset. This is an opportunity to join a stable team with excellent tenure, true work/life balance, flexibility when needed, and a leadership team that prioritizes employee well-being over burnout. Hybrid Schedule: Onsite training is required for the first 3 to 6 months. Once fully ramped up, employees have the flexibility to work from home a couple of days per week.
