Remote IT Support Specialist (Tier 1)

Brown Haven Homes is a growing US based homebuilder, and we're hiring a remote IT Support Specialist (Tier 1) to be the first friendly point of contact for our team's day-to-day technology needs. You'll help people get into their email , gain access to the software they need, set up new hires, and resolve the everyday issues that get in the way of good work — quickly, patiently, and with a service mindset. This role has significant growth potential, with the opportunity for performance-based monthly bonuses, career advancement, and a collaborative, supportive team environment where you'll learn, grow, and have fun!

What You'll Do

Serve as the first responder for incoming IT requests in our Freshservice help desk — via the portal, email , chat, and Microsoft Teams

Resolve issues with independent judgment — password resets, MFA / Microsoft Authenticator enrollment, email and login problems, account lockouts, and "I can't get into X" requests

Fulfill service-catalog requests accurately: software access, email /SharePoint access, distribution lists, shared mailboxes, Microsoft Teams creation, and application access grants

Own the IT side of employee onboarding and offboarding — create and configure new-hire accounts (Microsoft 365 / Entra ID), set up consultants and contractors, process role changes, and on departure revoke access and reclaim assets cleanly and on time

Troubleshoot common Microsoft 365 issues (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Word/Excel) and browser, account, and application problems, walking users through fixes step by step

Remotely triage hardware, Wi-Fi, printing/scanning, and phone issues — diagnose, guide the user, track assets, and coordinate shipping, depot repair, or local hands when something needs to be touched in person

Recognize and act on security signals — phishing reports, suspicious sign-ins, and impossible-travel/malware alerts — logging and escalating them immediately per our security procedures

Escalate complex or out-of-scope issues to senior IT with clear, well-documented notes and the right priority

Work within defined response and resolution SLAs, keeping ticket status, category, and priority accurate and following up until the user confirms the issue is fixed

Build and maintain knowledge-base articles, how-to guides, and FAQs so common issues get faster and easier to solve over time

Maintain accurate records of accounts, access, assets, and licenses

Communicate clearly and kindly with non-technical teammates, set expectations, and follow up proactively

Maintain the confidentiality and security of sensitive company and employee information

Experience Requirements

Proven experience in IT support, help desk, or technical support, ideally supporting a remote or distributed team during US business hours

Hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 / Outlook / Teams / SharePoint (user accounts, mailboxes, password resets, MFA, distribution lists, group and license management)

Comfort with user provisioning, access management, and identity tools — Expertise in Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD is a strong requirement.

Experience working in a ticketing / ITSM system (Freshservice, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or Zendesk), including following structured request and fulfillment workflows

Solid troubleshooting instincts across Windows, browsers (Chrome/Edge), common SaaS apps, networking basics, and connectivity issues

Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to prioritize, juggle multiple requests, and meet SLA / response-time expectations

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the patience to support non-technical users and explain solutions simply

Security-aware and trustworthy — able to spot phishing and suspicious activity, and to handle confidential information with care

Self-motivated, proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely helpful — you take ownership until a problem is truly solved

Bonus Skills

Experience with Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD, ADP, or other HR / identity / SCIM provisioning systems

Familiarity with self-service IT portals, MDM, or endpoint management tools

Experience supporting business apps like HubSpot, Salesforce, DocuSign, Adobe Creative Cloud, or Asana

Exposure to construction or homebuilding-industry software (e.g., MarkSystems/ECI, ITK, Lotspec, Revit, CanIBuild) — a plus, but we'll teach you what you need

Experience writing knowledge-base articles and standard operating procedures from scratch

Technical Requirements

A primary computer with sufficient RAM and processing power to run multiple support, communication, and admin tools simultaneously (including 10+ tabs in Google Chrome)

Primary internet service with speeds of at least 50 Mbps

Backup power supply (reimbursement available if you need to purchase)
