IT Support EngineerTitle: IT Support EngineerLocation: On-Site-New York, NY Corporate OfficeABOUT THE ROLEAs an IT Support Engineer, you are the face of IT for HG's corporate users, based on-site in the Norfolk, Virginia corporate office, and one of the firm's first dedicated in-house support hires. You own day-to-day help desk operations - resolving incidents, fulfilling employee requests, and keeping people productive - taking on the front-line support work previously handled by an outside provider and setting the standard for responsiveness and service quality.
This role is built for someone who pairs deep, hands-on technical skills across desktop, hardware, networking, and security with the judgment and ownership to run a help desk in a fast-moving environment. You will work closely with the infrastructure and business applications teams, the managed service provider, and third-party vendors to resolve issues end-to-end, and you will help establish the processes, standards, and documentation that turn reactive support into an enterprise-grade function.

- Partner with the New York-based support engineers to deliver consistent corporate support across both locations - sharing coverage, maintaining common standards and documentation, and providing mutual backup so firmwide support is continuous

- Provide tier-1 triage and routing for business application issues, directing them to the business applications team or vendor

- Perform WAN/LAN troubleshooting
- Serve as the in-house interface to the managed service provider (MSP), escalating tier-2 and infrastructure issues and tracking them through to resolution
- Serve as on-site "eyes and hands" for the infrastructure team, including receiving equipment, cabling, and physical tasks that cannot be handled remotely
- Maintain IT asset and hardware inventory, including lifecycle, warranty, and procurement coordination
- Initiate and track service requests with third-party providers
- Provide input and help maintain standard operating procedures, best practices, and customer service guidelines relating to end-user support
