  • Perform general maintenance on multifunction printers (MFPs)
  • Reinstall operating systems using bootable USBs or recovery media
  • Install remote tools or shortcuts as requested
  • Communicate clearly with customers and provide basic post-service support
  • Document service visits and escalate complex issues as needed

Requirements

    • 2+ years of field IT support experience, including computer and printer work
    • Familiarity with Canon, HP, and other common printer brands
    • Knowledge of error code troubleshooting (e.g., Canon code 1700, boot issues, driver conflicts)
    • Experience with both Windows (10/11) and macOS troubleshooting

    • Reliable vehicle and valid driver's license
    • Smartphone with camera and data for documentation and communication
    • Ability to work independently and maintain a professional demeanor
