• Assist with cloud, infrastructure, and security assessments by gathering technical details, documenting findings, and contributing to recommendations under supervision.
• Contribute to Technical Project Plans by translating structured discovery inputs into clearly defined tasks, checklists, and effort estimates.

• Provide technical support during onboarding projects to maintain momentum and minimize end‑user disruption.
• Produce and maintain clear, accurate technical documentation, including runbooks, configuration notes, diagrams, and asset inventories.
• Follow documented onboarding, discovery, and quality control processes consistently, while suggesting incremental improvements to efficiency and standardization.
• Work closely with Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Support, providing timely updates on task status, risks, and dependencies.
• Attend internal and client‑facing meetings as needed, communicating clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• At least 6 months of professional IT experience in roles such as Desktop Support, Service Desk, Systems Administration, or similar.
