IT Support and Operations Engineer

- When IT staff aren’t working support tickets (the IT Support part of the job title), they flip to the IT Operations part of the job title to implement security and compliance policies (like managing device and software patching), utilize tools like Intune to manage application and script deployments or working on refining deployment images with hardware vendors.
