What you'll do

• Image, configure, reimage, and prepare Windows 11 laptops, desktops, and virtual machines according to established standards.
• Perform detailed quality checks, including validating Microsoft 365 applications, drivers, network connectivity, BitLocker, Zscaler, OneDrive, security agents, and overall device readiness.
• Prepare and deploy devices for new hires, hardware refreshes, emergency replacements, and large-scale rollout initiatives.
• Manage assigned device-configuration tasks and maintain accurate asset, status, ownership, and work-note records in ServiceNow.
• Install standard and specialized software, confirm employee requirements, and support virtual desktop and endpoint initiatives.
• Troubleshoot failed builds, software installations, certificates, remote access, virtual endpoints, and hardware-related configuration issues.
• Coordinate device handoffs and issue resolution with Asset Management, Desktop Support, workstation engineering, remote build technicians, and onsite support teams.
• Communicate deployment status, emerging problems, and potential schedule impacts promptly.
• Track inventory and help keep build and deployment processes organized and moving forward.

What you'll bring

• Hands-on experience installing, imaging, configuring, validating, or troubleshooting Windows 11 devices.
• Familiarity with enterprise endpoint deployment or management tools such as Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, SCCM, or Company Portal.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365, OneDrive, BitLocker, Zscaler, device drivers, wired and wireless connectivity, and endpoint security agents.
• The ability to recognize build failures, perform thorough quality checks, and clearly document work.
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to balance multiple assignments and deadlines.
• A customer-focused, collaborative approach to coordinating with employees and technical teams.
• Reliable transportation for occasional travel between Baltimore and Owings Mills locations.
• Ability to lift equipment weighing up to 50 pounds.
