This was just posted today. This is the same job I do but it takes 2 people. The current person in the job is transferring to our NYC location. We do video/audio conferences on a daily basis. We support 16 meeting rooms. 6 of the rooms are equipped with state of the art equipment utilizing Polycom and Crestron devices etc. If you know what those are, you got one foot in the door.
The other part of the job is that we take care of all hardware issues, manage a laptop loaner pool, config pcs, manage warranty issues and just keep the user pcs running. We are a DELL shop.
We also do home visits to the Attorney’s homes to help with their home systems as it pertains to using VPN to connect to the firm. You get OT for that as well as the standard mileage reimbursement.
There is also the opportunity to travel to our other offices although not very often.
We have offices in NYC, Albany, Johnstown and Boca.
If you have experience in those areas, you would be all set.
The other hurdle you have to face is you work directly with me. lol Share an office and all the tasks each day.
This is a professional environment but very laid back when it comes to the IT department. Dress code is business casual. 37.5 hour work week, 1 hour lunch, get paid for 40. Very rarely there is overtime. Medical coverage included. Optional 401K. We own the Guaranty building on Pearl Street. It was built in 1896 and is an awesome building to work in. The firm is at about 600 people. I believe about 250 attorneys and the rest staff.
If I actually know you, I will put in the good word for you. I know who a lot of you are but do not actually “know” you so keep that in mind if you expect a referral.
Any questions, just ask in this thread.
This is a great place to work if you like to get paid well, be treated fairly and have a good career.
