Level 2 MSP IT Support Specialist

AI overview

Engage in full-stack technical support and hands-on installations, ensuring seamless IT solutions while directly interacting with clients to resolve issues and enhance environments.

Delaney Computer Services (DCS), a leading MSP in Northern New Jersey, is seeking a highly capable MSP IT Support Specialist who can think clearly, troubleshoot effectively, and execute hands-on technical work in real customer environments.

This is not a narrow or purely remote help desk position. We need people who can troubleshoot, install, build, fix, configure, clean up, document, and see a job through from start to finish. If you enjoy being the person who can walk into a client site, assess what needs to be done, roll up your sleeves, and take ownership — you’ll fit in here.

If you prefer highly specialized roles, ticket-only work, or theoretical knowledge without physical implementation, this role will not be a match. This is full-stack MSP work, and we need people who take pride in executing the full scope of the job.

What You’ll Do

Core Technical Support and Troubleshooting

  • Provide accurate, timely support for hardware, software, user issues, and Microsoft 365 services.
  • Diagnose problems independently without relying on step-by-step instructions.
  • Follow tasks through to completion, ensuring all configurations, policies, and security controls are properly applied and documented.

On-Site Field Work and Installations

  • Travel to client sites to resolve complex issues, complete installations, and perform hands-on technical work.
  • Assess environments, determine what equipment or materials are needed, and execute solutions confidently.
  • Maintain professionalism while working under pressure, deadlines, and real-world conditions.

Network Buildouts and Infrastructure Work

  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot switches, firewalls, access points, VLANs, wireless networks, and WAN/LAN connectivity.
  • Spec out network equipment for small to mid-sized businesses based on actual requirements.

Privileged Access, Security, and Policy Enforcement

  • Configure and support privileged access, MFA, and identity and access controls.
  • Address user resistance to security requirements while communicating the importance of compliance.
  • Identify and remediate malware, phishing, ransomware, and other cyber threats.

RMM, Quality Control, and Documentation

  • Ensure all devices are properly onboarded into the RMM with monitoring, patching, and security agents active and functional.
  • Catch small oversights before they become major problems.
  • Maintain accurate documentation, installation notes, and environment details.

VoIP Administration

  • Configure, support, and troubleshoot Vonage Business VoIP systems, including call flows and quality issues.
