Remote IT Support Technician – After-Hours

We are an MSP based in the Greater Toronto Area, supporting 100+ business clients. We're hiring a remote L1 technician for overnight technical support, 9:00 PM–5:00 AM ET (weekends included).

What you'll do

Troubleshoot server/network drive connectivity issues and VPN access
Provide remote workstation support
Support client apps at the access/login/licensing level (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Bluebeam, Adobe CC, Blender) — not training or how-to guidance
Handle basic ticket intake from 9-10 PM ET before our overnight admin comes online; admin handles intake/logging after that
Triage within a 2-hour response window; escalate beyond L1 to on-call senior techs

Required

Solid L1 troubleshooting (networking, VPN, remote desktop)
Comfortable working independently overnight
Clear written/spoken English
Reliable internet, quiet home setup

Nice to have

Experience with AutoCAD, Adobe CC, SketchUp, Bluebeam, or Blender; prior MSP/helpdesk experience

How we work

Ongoing role
Signed NDA required before system/client access
