ABOUT PCG SYSTEMS
PCG Systems is a high-performance Managed IT Services and Cybersecurity firm supporting growing businesses across the Denver Metro area. We deliver white-glove, fast-response IT support backed by strong processes, security-first thinking, and a team-first culture.
We are not a break/fix shop. We operate in a structured, process-driven MSP environment where speed, accountability, documentation, and client experience matter.
IMPORTANT — WHO SHOULD APPLY
This is a Tier 1 support role, but it is NOT a “no experience required” position.
We are specifically hiring technicians who:

- Have worked in a ticket-driven, multi-client support environment
- Can troubleshoot common user, workstation, Microsoft 365, and basic network issues
- Can communicate professionally with clients
- Can follow process, document work clearly, and escalate properly
If your experience is only internal IT, retail tech support, school lab support, or basic desktop support without MSP experience, this role will not be a fit.

You will serve as a front-line support technician responsible for resolving common client support issues quickly, professionally, and accurately.
At PCG, Tier 1 support is a critical client-facing role. You are expected to provide fast response, clear communication, strong documentation, and consistent follow-through.

- Respond quickly to incoming support requests
- Troubleshoot and resolve common technical issues

- Perform basic network troubleshooting including Wi-Fi, VPN, DNS, DHCP, and connectivity issues

- Use PSA and RMM tools to manage tickets, devices, alerts, and documentation
- Prioritize tickets based on impact and urgency
- Escalate issues with complete notes, troubleshooting steps, screenshots, and technical context
- Maintain a professional, calm, and helpful client experience at all times
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE — NON-NEGOTIABLE
- Minimum 1 year working at a Managed IT Services Provider
- Experience supporting multiple clients in a ticket-driven environment
- Experience troubleshooting Windows workstations and Microsoft 365 issues

- Ability to manage multiple active tickets while keeping clients updated
- Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical users
