Tier 1 Help Desk (on-site)

CFS, Nashville, TN, United States


Overview
The Opportunity
A growing municipal organization is seeking a

Tier 1 IT Help Desk Support Specialist

to provide on‑site, user‑facing technical support across several town facilities. This role is designed to absorb everyday IT issues—tickets, deskside troubleshooting, and basic device support—so the IT Director can remain focused on infrastructure, networking, and strategic initiatives.

You’ll work in a

low‑chaos, community‑focused environment , supporting approximately

15–20 primarily on‑site users

across multiple locations within town limits. This is a

hands‑on help desk role , not a systems administrator or solo‑IT position.

What You’ll Be Doing

Serve as the first point of contact for IT support via email, ticket submission, phone, and walk‑ups

Create, document, prioritize, and close help desk tickets in the town’s ticketing system

Provide deskside and onsite Tier 1 support for common issues:

Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, and SharePoint

Laptop and iPad setup and basic troubleshooting

Printers, monitors, docking stations, keyboards, and peripherals

Assist with installing approved software and routine device setup

Perform light AV support for meetings (microphones, cameras, recording, basic setup)

Travel locally between nearby town facilities using a town vehicle

Coordinate and escalate issues to:

The IT Director (internal)

External managed service providers handling firewalls, networking, and backend systems

Help maintain basic IT documentation and identify repeat issues worth documenting

Technology Environment

Primary platform: Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Office, Teams, SharePoint)

Devices: Windows laptops, iPads, peripherals

Applications: GeoCivics, Bluebeam, Adobe e‑Sign, limited Google Workspace overlap

Infrastructure: Cloud‑based; networking, firewalls, and website supported by external vendors

No deep networking, server admin, or security ownership required

Schedule & Work Arrangement

Onsite only (no remote support)

Flexible schedule, typically 20–30 hours per week

Core window generally 8:30am–4:30pm, with flexibility (e.g., 9–3 or 10–4)

No on‑call rotation; occasional evening council meetings (rare and manageable)

What We’re Looking For

Prior IT support or help desk experience (Tier 1 / desktop support ideal)

Comfortable supporting non‑technical users in person

Strong documentation and ticket hygiene

Reliable, service‑oriented, and comfortable working in a smaller environment

Willingness to learn new systems and follow established processes

Valid driver’s license for local travel between town facilities

Compensation & Structure

Hourly: $20–$24/hr

Engagement: Part‑time initially with strong temp‑to‑hire potential

Long‑term opportunity as the town continues to grow (planned staff expansion)

Why This Role Works Well

Clearly scoped Tier 1 role — not a sink‑or‑swim IT position

Supportive IT Director and clear escalation paths

Stable environment with modern, cloud‑based tools

Flexible schedule and predictable workload

Opportunity to grow into a longer‑term role as demand increases
