Job Description:

Leidos is hiring a Deskside Support Technician to provide on-site support in Washington, DC as well as remote support to users across the United States. This position will support our ESA V program, which is an IT Services program supporting several customers within the Department of Justice. The program provides a range of IT services, including help desk, deskside support, Windows workstation engineering and maintenance, managed print services, ITSM, Active Directory services, and video conferencing, among others. Our service model is that customers will first contact our off-site Service Desk, and the technicians there will resolve most customer issues over the phone or by using a remote connection to the customer’s computers. Our Deskside Support technicians may be escalated to for remote or on-site support for issues the Service Desk is not able to resolve.

Location: Onsite at customer site in Washington, DC 75% of the time, and remote the other 25%.

Candidate selected will be subject to a Government Public Trust security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to the customer’s information. Current clearance is not required, but selected individual cannot start the assignment until the required security clearance is granted by the customer. This process is currently taking 10+ weeks.

The types of work a candidate for these positions should expect to perform include but aren’t limited to the following:

• Deskside support for any user where a ticket has been dispatched from the Service Desk or identified by the on-site user base

• Installation of specialty software which is not already packaged in SCCM
• Removal of devices from the network as directed by Security
• Assess issues and diagnose problems with printers

ESA V prides itself in providing high-quality customer support. A key part of the deskside support staff’s job is interfacing with customers and leaving the customer with his or her problem resolved, in a very timely manner.   As such, the ability to prioritize work based on ticket and customer priority, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, and the ability to work across multiple building in Washington without direct supervision are all critical to the success of the individuals selected for these positions.

This “white glove” service may sometimes require after-hours support to be provided.

The technology in use at the Department includes Windows 10 laptops and desktops, Microsoft Office tools, email using Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, and other typical tools. Candidates for these positions should have experience working on and resolving issues with this type of office IT environment.
