Tier 2 IT Support Technician — Lafayette, LA

Tired of IT jobs where you're just a ticket number? At Computer One, Louisiana's premier managed service provider, you'll be part of a small, tight-knit team that actually gets to know the clients we support — and gets recognized for the problems we solve.

We're growing our Lafayette headquarters team and looking for an experienced Tier 2 technician who can handle escalated technical issues and mentor our Tier 1 team. You'll report directly to leadership and have real input into how the office runs.

What You'll Do

• Provide onsite and remote Tier 2 technical support for small business clients across a wide range of hardware, software, networking, and cloud environments
• Handle tickets escalated from Tier 1 technicians, and provide hands-on mentoring and guidance to help them grow
• Set up, configure, and troubleshoot servers, PCs, printers, peripherals, and network equipment
• Manage and support Active Directory, Hyper-V, DHCP, DNS, and VMware environments
• Install, configure, and manage firewalls, switches, VPNs, and wireless access points
• Administer Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments
• Communicate directly with vendors to open, update, and resolve support tickets
• Document all work clearly and consistently so the whole team can pick up where you left off
• Participate in a light on-call rotation (less than one weekend per month), monitoring the support mailbox for client outages or offline servers and relaying issues to the on-duty Tier 2 technician for next-morning resolution

Required Qualifications

• CompTIA A certification
• 6 years of hands-on IT experience, including 2-3 years working for an MSP
• Strong working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, DHCP, and DNS
• Experience with business networking equipment: firewalls, switches, VPNs, wireless access points
• Comfortable troubleshooting directly with clients — in person, on the phone, and over email
• Strong documentation habits and the ability to work independently

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Hyper-V and/or VMware
• Prior experience mentoring or leading junior technicians
• Experience supporting professional service clients (medical, dental, or law offices)
• Additional certifications (Network , Security , Microsoft, etc.)
