Job Description

Applied Innovation – Managed Network Services

Are you a Tier 2 technician who thrives in a hands-on environment, values autonomy, and enjoys solving real-world problems? Applied Innovation is looking for a dedicated, experienced IT professional to join our Managed Network Services team in a hybrid client-facing and internal support role.

In this position, you'll spend three days each week at a key client site supporting their internal IT operations, and the remaining two days at our Grand Rapids office working with our broader IT team. This is not a field tech role—it's a true Tier 2 position focused on problem-solving, project execution, and infrastructure support in professional environments.

You’ll be the go-to person for diagnosing complex issues, supporting user systems, and helping improve how technology supports business across multiple environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Act as the primary Tier 2 technician at a dedicated client site three days/week
  • Provide advanced support for Windows, macOS, servers, Microsoft Entra/Active Directory, Exchange, O365, and network environments
  • Troubleshoot escalated desktop, server, network, and infrastructure issues
  • Assist with patching, upgrades, security tools, cloud configuration, and documentation
  • Work collaboratively with Tier 1 and Tier 3 teams to close loops on tickets and projects
  • Maintain and update documentation in our internal systems and client-facing portals
  • Travel between our Grand Rapids office and assigned client locations (all local)

What Makes This Role Different

  • Autonomy with support – You’re trusted to lead solutions but backed by a knowledgeable and responsive team
  • Consistent client work – No daily dispatch chaos. You’ll build deep familiarity and trust at your primary site
  • Growth-focused – Many of our Tier 2s have advanced into cloud, security, or engineering roles—your path is supported
  • Team-first culture – We hire to fit our collaborative, respectful, and accountable environment
  • Paid for every mile – All travel between sites is fully reimbursed via a mileage stipend

You’ll Excel If You Have

  • 3+ years of experience in a technical support or systems administration role
  • Proficiency supporting environments with:
    • Microsoft Entra AD and O365
    • Windows/macOS workstation support
    • Exchange (on-premise/hybrid)
    • Active Directory, DNS, DHCP
    • Anti-virus and content filtering platforms
    • Wired and wireless network troubleshooting
  • Strong documentation habits and customer communication skills
  • A high degree of self-motivation, problem-solving, and professionalism

Requirements

  • 3+ years in IT-related support or systems roles
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
  • One of the following certifications (or ability to earn within 90 days):
    • CompTIA A+, Network+, Server+
    • Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP)
    • Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
    • Other relevant technical certification

Benefits

  • Full medical, dental, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Onsite fitness center
  • Career advancement support and training access
  • Mileage reimbursement for all client travel
