Responsibilities
Our team of Help Desk Engineers work closely with our Service Department and the clients directly. Communication, lots of patience and customer service skills are essential. While our client base is primarily located in Los Angeles and Orange counties, we are currently hoping to find a candidate that could also go on site occasionally in the Orange County area ideally, although not a requirement. Most of the position can be handled remotely, but there are occasional incidents that require an on-site touch. Expense reimbursement for travel and parking is provided.
A typical day includes tickets ranging from, but not limited to, emails getting held by Mimecast, user onboarding, user off boarding, issues with macros, issues connecting to their cloud desktop (AVD and Citrix), printing, Wi-Fi as well as many issues both simple and complex. A good candidate is confident in their abilities, but also humble enough to ask for assistance when they see an obstacle, they are not sure how to tackle. Most of our tickets are either resolved or escalated within 15-30 minutes of contacting the client. We ask clients to rate us on every ticket and all non-positive tickets are addressed immediately by the Help Desk Manager. We are proud in our support procedures that we have not seen a sub 95% positive company-wide score in many years.
We are a fully remote IT company embracing the solutions we consult with our clients. We meet regularly as a team remotely to continue embracing the top notch culture at our company. We provide our employees with a very generous compensation package, which includes a competitive above market pay range and comprehensive benefits. Our benefits package includes paid vacations/holidays/personal time, medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) plan with employer-paid matching contributions, profit sharing, and company-funded life insurance.
If interested, please email your resume to careers@wamsinc.com, along with a cover letter explaining why you are most qualified for this position and be sure to include salary history and any specific requirements. During this phase of our recruiting effort, we will not accept telephone calls. Only those candidates meeting the requirements will be contacted. No recruiters please.
