Our team of Help Desk Engineers works closely with Clients and Engineers. Communication, patience, and customer service skills are essential. They will serve as an escalation point for the Help Desk, as well as take plenty of calls. The idea here is to find someone to bridge the Help Desk and Engineering teams in a way that alleviates the Escalations, while also allowing WAMS to provide faster response times to our clients. We also hope to find someone who can become a mentor by documenting procedures that Help Desk typically escalates, as well as, if time allows, work the escalations with the Help Desk Analyst who originated the escalation.
Our client base is primarily located in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Much of the engineering work can be handled remotely, although a portion of the work may need to be on-site. Occasional travel in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas may be required. Expense reimbursement for travel and parking is provided.
We provide our employees with a generous compensation package, which includes a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits. The benefits package includes paid vacations/holidays/personal time, medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan with employer-paid matching contributions, profit sharing, and company-funded life insurance.
If interested, please send your resume and include salary history and requirements. During this phase of our recruiting effort, we will not be able to accept telephone calls. Only those candidates meeting the requirements will be contacted. No recruiters, please.
