Job Description

This role will start in Washington DC, but will move to Merrifield, VA eventually (100% on-site).

DanSources is looking for a Deskside Support Technician to support the Enterprise Standard Architecture V (ESA V) program, in Washington, DC. ESA V 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.

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
• Break/Fix support for government provided end-user computer devices, such as replacing hard drives or batteries which fail
• 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
• Install printer toner

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. Some members of the deskside support staff will also provide technical support to the senior management offices and senior leadership offices within the Department of Justice. Due to the critical importance of the work done in these offices, timely and professional response to all incidents and service requests must be achieved. This “white glove” service may sometimes require after-hours support to be provided.
