Desktop Support Technician Tier 1 Full-Time · On-Site

• ABOUT Grapevine MSP

Grapevine MSP Technology Services is expanding, and we are seeking an enthusiastic Desktop Support Technician I (Tier 1) to join our team.

Founded in 2009 by CEO Joe Gregory, Grapevine MSP has grown from a recession-era startup into the Central Valley's largest managed IT services provider with a team of over 60 professionals headquartered in Bakersfield, CA. As a Microsoft Tier 1 Partner, we deliver proactive IT support, cybersecurity, cloud, VoIP, strategic consulting, and 24/7 help desk services to businesses of all sizes. Our mission is simple: to help businesses thrive through smart, secure, and innovative technology.

Our "let's figure it out" culture isn't a tagline — it's how we show up for our clients and each other every day. If you have a passion for technology, a desire to learn, and a commitment to delivering great client experiences, we want to hear from you.

• The Role

This is a full-time, on-site position based at our Visalia, CA office. As a Tier 1 technician, you will be the first point of contact for client technical issues — triaging, resolving, and escalating support requests with professionalism and efficiency. You'll work alongside a high-performing engineering team and gain hands-on exposure to a wide range of technologies and client environments.

• WHAT We're Looking For

• 
  Basic understanding of Windows operating systems (Windows 10/11 preferred).
• Familiarity with common office hardware — desktops, laptops, printers, and scanners.
• Understanding Office 365 and the Microsoft Office Suite.
• Basic knowledge of networking concepts (IP addressing, LAN/WAN fundamentals).
• Strong communication and customer service skills — you'll be client-facing daily.
• Ability to follow documented procedures and escalate issues appropriately.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple open tickets at once.
• Eagerness to learn and a proactive, problem-solving attitude.

Preferred

• Any prior experience in a help desk, desktop support, or IT support role (even internships or volunteer work counts).
• Familiarity with Active Directory and basic user account management.
• Exposure to remote support tools (e.g., ConnectWise, TeamViewer, or similar).
• Basic understanding of antivirus and endpoint security concepts.
• MSP experience is a strong plus — but not required.
• Relevant certifications (CompTIA IT Fundamentals, A+, or similar) are a bonus.

We invest in our people from day one. Here's what you can expect when you join the team:

• Competitive Pay — commensurate with experience
• 401(k) Plan with 4% matching contributions
• Low-cost, high-quality Healthcare — Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
• Paid Vacation Time
• Paid Sick Time
• Performance Bonuses
• Work Anniversary Recognition
• Equipment and Tools Provided — everything you need to do great work
• Growth & Development Plans — industry-specific training courses and certifications covered
• Clear career progression path — Tier 1 is just the beginning
• Team Events & Social Events — we work hard and celebrate together
• Exposure to diverse client environments and a wide range of technologies
