Summary
The Client Technology Staging Associate is excellent entry level position to jump start your career in IT! As a CTS Associate you'll be responsible for end-to-end device provisioning and multi-device staging in support of the Abacus client base. This role combines hands-on PC building and imaging with user onboarding/offboarding and the configuration of additional client hardware such as mobile devices, phones, and select network-enabled equipment. This position is client-facing in impact and highly visible within the organization. It requires precision, strong communication skills, technical depth across Windows and cloud environments, and a process-driven mindset. While exposure to network-connected devices is expected, this role does not require advanced network engineering responsibilities.
