Lumen IT is hiring a Field Support Technician to be the face of our company at client sites across Calgary and the surrounding communities — Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and the points in between. You'll spend most of your week on the road solving problems where they happen, then back at our downtown office handling the Tier 1 help desk queue.This is not a remote role. Every day looks a bit different: a printer that won't talk to a new laptop, a boardroom display that flickers, a new hire who needs to be set up before lunch. If you like fixing things, meeting people, and rarely sitting in the same chair twice, this is a valuable fit.What You'll DoOn-Site Client Support (~70% of your time)Visit 3–6 client sites per day across Calgary and the surrounding areaSet up new workstations, printers, phones, and boardroom equipmentDiagnose and fix hardware, network, and peripheral issues in personBuild relationships with client staff — you'll see the same faces regularlyRepresent Lumen IT professionally on every visit, regardless of the issueHelp Desk Support (~30% of your time)Handle Tier 1 tickets from our downtown office via phone, email, and our PSATriage incoming requests, resolve what you can, escalate what you can'tReset passwords, manage Microsoft 365 accounts, troubleshoot Outlook and TeamsDocument every interaction with enough detail that a teammate can pick it up coldSetup, Deployment & DocumentationConfigure Windows 10/11 and macOS workstations for new hiresEnroll Apple and Windows devices in MDM (we'll teach you our stack)Set up VoIP desk phones and softphones, install printers, run cable when neededKeep client inventory and configuration notes accurate and currentWhat This Role Is NOTTo set expectations clearly, you will not be:Leading projects or designing client environments — senior staff own thatWorking remotely — this is a road-and-office role by designOn a Tier 3 escalation rotation — complex incidents route to senior techsWriting scripts or doing automation work — we hire for that separatelyA Day in the Life8:00am : Arrive at the downtown office, check overnight tickets and your route for the day. Two morning visits booked, one walk-in likely.8:30am – 12:00pm : First visit — small dental office in Beltline, their main printer won't authenticate to the new Microsoft 365 tenant. Reinstall driver, re-add the printer with the correct credentials, confirm with two staff that scan‑to‑email works. Second visit — manufacturing client in Foothills Industrial, swap a failed workstation, transfer the user's profile from a backup, walk them through the new login.12:00pm – 1:00pm : Lunch back at the office or on the road. If you're in the office, the team usually grabs something together.1:00pm – 3:30pm : Afternoon ticket queue from the office — handle remote support, password resets, Outlook crashes, "my Teams isn't working." Most resolve in 10–20 minutes.
Document each one as you go.3:30pm – 5:00pm : Last visit of the day — new-hire setup at a law firm in Eau Claire. Two laptops, two iPhones, M365 licenses, the works. Confirm they can sign in, send a test email, and join a Teams call before you leave.5:00pm : Wrap up notes, update tomorrow's calendar, head home.Typical Volume : 3–6 site visits per day plus 5–10 remote tickets.
