Help Desk Technician II

Hey! My name is Chris Shirran, and I am the COO and co-founder of Unite IT Services. We're expanding and invite you to apply for a job, company, and workload that doesn't suck!

Why work for us?

• You want to be introduced to a wide variety of information systems across a variety of environments, with ample opportunity to expand laterally and vertically into new skill sets, all in a practical, safe, and cooperative work environment. We believe you should be paid twice in your profession: In money and new experiences.
  
• You're not interested in being a cog in some large corporate machine. You're not the "Windows Deployment" or "User and Password" technician, sitting in front of a desk for 8 hours as a one-trick pony, bored to tears. You're a valued, trusted, and important part of our operations, and should aspire to more. You're here to work with the machines, not BE them.
  
• You want to work in a largely low stress work environment. We achieve this by saying "No". A lot. Clients with little basic IT know-how, minimal budget for reliable IT solutions, and even less patience? We don't take them. We deploy best in class software and hardware solutions, and only take clients on that appreciate the time and energy put into keeping things running smooth. This keeps meltdown's non-existent, and major IT incidents manageable.
  
• You don't want to dread going into the office? Then stay home! We utilize a flexible hybrid solution to allow employees to reap the benefits of working from home.
  
• You want supervisors that are worth it. They say people don't quit jobs, they quit managers, and we agree. That's why we quit ours and started UNITE! Supervisors are here to step in, lend a hand, and most importantly lead by example. You won't be asked to do anything the owners of the company wouldn't do themselves. We have an open door policy and our employees use it.
