Desktop Support Specialist

The Desktop Support Specialist is the primary point of contact for technology support across DCCM. This role exists to keep our engineers, designers, project managers, and corporate staff productive by resolving day-to-day technology issues quickly and completely. Strong technical skills and a customer service mindset are equally essential to succeed in this role. We need someone who diagnoses problems thoroughly, executes solutions cleanly, owns issues end to end, and treats every user with patience and professionalism while doing it. The right person sees technical excellence and customer service as two halves of the same job, not a trade-off. While this position is based at the IND (Fishers) office, it supports the entire DCCM organization regardless of office or location. This position will initially report to VP of IT and local division IT Manager (matrix organization), with potential transition to report to the Service Desk Lead.

• Troubleshoot connectivity issues across wired, Wi-Fi, and VPN, and coordinate with the IT Manager or external providers on escalations.

• Support MFA, password resets, and account lockouts following established security procedures.

• Maintain ongoing documentation including SOPs, knowledge base articles, job aids, and user-facing quick reference guides.

• Identify recurring issues and propose training, documentation, or process improvements to reduce ticket volume.

• Provide light training and orientation to staff on standard tools, new applications, and security awareness topics.

• Participate in after-hours and weekend work as needed for maintenance windows, office moves, deployments, and urgent support.
