Job Description

An Endpoint Management Specialist for Desktops, Laptops, and Printers is responsible for ensuring the functionality, security, and optimal performance of all end-user devices within an organizations network. This role typically involves a mix of direct user support, system administration, and proactive maintenance using specialized management tools.
 

Key Responsibilities

 

Technical Support and Troubleshooting

  • Provide first and second-level technical support for hardware and software incidents related to desktops, laptops, printers, and other peripherals, both in person and remotely.
  • Diagnose and resolve a wide range of issues, including operating system errors (Windows, macOS), application errors, network connectivity problems (LAN/WAN, Wi-Fi, VPN), and printing issues (e.g., print spooler errors).
  • Manage support requests via a ticketing system (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira) and track incidents through to resolution.
  • Escalate complex or unresolved issues to specialized teams (e.g., network, server, application development) when necessary.

Installation, Configuration, and Maintenance

  • Install, configure, test, and maintain new and existing computer hardware and software, including setting up new workstations and peripherals.
  • Perform operating system deployment and imaging for desktops and laptops using tools like Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) or Intune.
  • Roll out system updates, patches, and security fixes to all managed devices, following change management protocols to minimize user disruption.
  • Perform preventative maintenance, including routine checks, performance optimization, and hardware upgrades or replacements (e.g., memory, hard drives).

Printer-Specific Management

  • Set up, configure, and install standalone and network printers.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve various printer and scanner issues, including paper jams, connectivity problems, driver conflicts, and print quality issues.
  • Monitor printer performance, manage supplies (toner, paper), and coordinate with external vendors for complex repairs or maintenance.

Security and Compliance

  • Enforce IT security policies and best practices, ensuring endpoint protection tools (antivirus, encryption) are installed, updated, and active on all devices.
  • Manage user accounts and permissions within directory services (e.g., Active Directory), including password resets and access controls, adhering to zero-trust principles.
  • Monitor devices for compliance with internal policies and regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).

Inventory and Documentation

  • Maintain an accurate inventory of all IT assets, including hardware specifications, software licenses, location, and user assignments.
  • Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, procedural manuals, and knowledge base articles for both IT staff and end-users.

User Training and Collaboration

  • Provide guidance and informal training to users on the proper use of hardware, software, and IT best practices.
  • Collaborate effectively with other IT teams (e.g., network, infrastructure, security) to ensure seamless IT operations and efficient problem resolution.
