  • Review open incidents for the team and help move time sensitive issues forward.

  • Follow support procedures and runbooks while proposing improvements when necessary.

Project Work and Continuous Improvement

  • Suggest enhancements to workflows, support processes, or knowledge documentation.

  • Support asset management and inventory tracking using ServiceNow or similar tools.

Communication and Collaboration
