Desktop Support Engineer — End User Computing
Location: Charlotte, NC (On-Site 5 days a week)
Contract (3 Months) ·
This isn’t a typical helpdesk role. It’s a high-visibility, hands-on contract built around a major M&A technology integration with a hard go-live date of June 15th.
We’re conducting a confidential search for a Desktop Support Engineer on behalf of a global financial services organization based in Charlotte. You’ll be the primary on-the-ground resource supporting the migration of a newly acquired firm into the parent company’s IT environment — covering end-user onboarding, device imaging, application validation, and white-glove support across the migration weekend and beyond.
This role requires someone who can work autonomously, handle pressure during a fast-moving migration window, and deliver a first-class experience to users who expect nothing less. Travel to other offices (Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York) for pre-migration upskilling and deployments is required — flights and hotels are covered.
What You’ll Own
Pre-Migration (May – Early June)
- Information gathering, device configuration, and staging for migration weekend
- Network and AV fit-outs, meeting room installs, and peripheral testing
- Printer and endpoint validation across the office environment
- Travel to other sites (LA, Atlanta, New York) for upskilling and deployment preparation
Migration Weekend — June 13–14 (Critical)
- On-site for the full migration weekend — availability is a firm requirement
- Reconfigure printers to new network, roll out keyboards, mice, and webcams
- Image and validate laptops, log test results in ServiceNow
- Validate application launches and escalate complex issues to specialist teams
- Hours are standard daytime with flexibility to stay until the job is done — evenings are possible
Post Go-Live Support (June 15 Onward)
- White-glove desk-side onboarding for users transitioning to new laptops and services
- First and second-line issue resolution with warm handoff to specialist teams for complex tickets
- Log all activity in ServiceNow and contribute to documentation and knowledge base
- Provide feedback on recurring issues to support continuous improvement of IT services
Technical Requirements
Must-Have
- Windows 11 support — hands-on, desk-side experience required
- Microsoft 365 (M365) — supporting applications and services across the suite
- Active Directory (AD) and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) administration
- Intune — mobile device management and endpoint configuration
- iOS device support — comfortable configuring and troubleshooting iPhones and iPads
- ServiceNow — logging tickets, tracking issues, and documenting resolutions
- Comfortable with light physical tasks — plugging in laptops, equipment installs, peripheral setup
Nice to Have
- SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) experience
- ITIL framework knowledge
- Experience supporting M&A migrations or large-scale IT rollouts
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in a fast-paced, high-profile end-user support environment — you know how to handle executives and senior stakeholders with patience and professionalism
- Strong communication skills — you can translate technical issues into plain language and set realistic expectations under pressure
- Autonomous worker — you’ll often be the primary on-site resource and need to make good decisions without hand-holding
- Calm under pressure — a migration weekend with a hard go-live date is not the environment for someone who needs a slow ramp
- Strong analytical and root cause analysis skills — you fix the problem, not just the symptom
Logistics
Charlotte-based · On-site · Travel required in June · Migration weekend availability is mandatory
- Contract term: up to 3 months; start date in May with primary activity in June
- Charlotte-based with travel to other offices in June for approximately one month (LA, Atlanta, New York)
- Normal hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; migration weekend may require extended hours into the evening
