The Technical Support Administrator is responsible for ensuring the logging and timely resolution of IT service requests, incidents, and problems by providing Level 1 and Level 2 Helpdesk Support to Cooper’s Hawk restaurant and corporate office team members. Main tasks include troubleshooting and restoring services to hardware and software systems, PCs, printers, mobile devices, Point-of-Sale equipment, A/V equipment, and other IT and business systems within the Cooper’s Hawk environment. This position requires someone who is customer-service oriented and has strong troubleshooting skills, along with a natural curiosity and a strong desire to “figure it out” - someone who enjoys digging into issues, asking thoughtful questions, and seeing problems through to full resolution rather than settling for temporary fixes.
 
The hours for this position are on a flexible rotating schedule. This role is part of the Information Technology team, which is based out of the Restaurant Support Center in Downers Grove, IL, where we have a hybrid environment (minimum of 3 days a week on-site).

  • Troubleshoot connectivity (internet, telephony, network) and system performance issues
Escalation & Vendor Coordination
  • Escalate complex issues to internal teams or third-party vendors as appropriate
  • Coordinate with MSPs and vendors delivering on-site services to ensure high-quality support
Hardware, Software & Asset Management
  • Provision, configure, and image new or repurposed equipment
  • Process hardware and software requests in accordance with IT policies
  • Maintain accurate inventory of hardware assets, supplies, and licenses
Documentation & Knowledge Management
  • Document incidents, troubleshooting steps, and resolutions to drive knowledge sharing
  • Create and maintain Knowledge Base articles and user-facing “how-to” guides
User Support & Account Administration
  • Support onboarding/offboarding, including account provisioning, deprovisioning, and access management
  • Provide training and guidance to team members on supported systems and applications
Operations & Continuous Improvement
  • Assist with patch management and deployment of critical updates
  • Contribute to the development and improvement of IT processes, procedures, and service delivery standards
Additional Responsibilities
  • Participate in on-call rotation (evenings/weekends)
  • Occasional travel to restaurant locations for support or new system deployments
What You’ll Bring:
 
Required
  • 3+ years of experience in a corporate helpdesk or technical support role
  • Strong troubleshooting skills with a structured, methodical approach to problem-solving
  • Excellent customer service mindset and communication skills
  • Hands-on experience with:

    • Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and endpoint security tools
    • Desktops, laptops, POS systems, and peripherals
  • Foundational networking knowledge (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP)
  • Strong organizational, prioritization, and time management skills
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical users
  • Adaptability and eagerness to learn new technologies in a fast-paced environment
Preferred
  • CompTIA A+, Network+, or ITIL certifications
  • Experience supporting multi-unit or hospitality/restaurant environments
Compensation Range: $55,000-$66,000. The final offered salary will be based on several factors, including but not limited to the candidate’s depth of experience, skill set, qualifications, and internal pay equity.

About the Company

C

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants

After four years of planning and construction, Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant opened in 2005 in Orland Park, a south suburb of Chicago. The concept was unique. We would create a signature menu with a selection of dishes designed to pair perfectly with our own Cooper’s Hawk wines, made in our own private winery. With sophisticated food and exceptional wines, our concept was born.

The Cooper’s Hawk concept includes four distinct components: an upscale casual dining restaurant, full-service bar, private barrel-aging room, and Napa-style tasting room and retail gift store…all under one roof. Each Cooper’s Hawk location is distinctive in layout and décor, but carries the same warmth and elegance that guests have come to expect.
