Onsite Help Desk Engineer

Location: New York, NY (On-site)

Employment Type: Full-Time

At Dega Systems, we believe technology should empower organizations, not slow them down.

For more than 25 years, we've helped small businesses and nonprofit organizations throughout the New York Metro area build secure, reliable, and scalable technology environments. From managed IT services and cybersecurity to cloud solutions and VoIP communications, we become trusted technology partners for our clients, not just another vendor.

As a growing Managed Service Provider (MSP), our engineers work with a wide variety of technologies, industries, and environments. If you enjoy solving challenging technical problems, building relationships with clients, and continuously learning, you'll thrive here.

We're looking for an experienced Level 2 Onsite Help Desk Engineer who enjoys working directly with clients and taking ownership of technical issues from start to finish.

This is more than a desktop support position. You'll serve as a trusted technical resource for multiple organizations, resolving complex end-user issues, maintaining IT infrastructure, and proactively identifying opportunities to improve client environments.

You'll work independently at client sites while collaborating closely with our Service Desk, Projects, and Engineering teams. Success in this role requires strong troubleshooting skills, professionalism, excellent communication, and the confidence to make sound technical decisions in the field.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and building long-term relationships with clients, we'd love to meet you.

• Builds trust quickly with clients.
• Is naturally curious and enjoys learning new technologies.
• Has excellent organizational and documentation habits.
• Believes every client interaction is an opportunity to create an outstanding experience.
