• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Good customer-service and communication skills.
• Comfortable completing real-time electronic documentation for each service call.
• Ability to complete required product and technical training.

• Must be comfortable driving throughout Lakewood and surrounding areas.
• Approximately 250–350 miles of driving per week may be required.
• Mileage traveled between work locations during the workday is reimbursed according to the standard mileage policy.
• Normal commuting mileage to and from work is not reimbursed.
• Candidates should have a reliable backup transportation plan in the event their primary vehicle is unavailable.

CompTIA A+ certification is also required. Candidates who do not currently hold A+ certification will be required to obtain it within 90 days of starting employment.

Candidates must also successfully complete required product training and applicable background and drug screening requirements.

Additional Requirements
