Associate Desktop Support Engineer

📍 Guwahati 🏷️ It Support 💰 ₹36,500 / month

About the Role

Ganeshguri in Guwahati has an Associate Desktop Support Engineer opening, full time, on site, with an IT support team keeping end-user hardware and software running smoothly. One and a half years of experience is the expectation, enough to have moved past the very basics of desktop troubleshooting.

A Day in This Job

The work covers responding to technical support requests, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and escalating unresolved problems to the relevant team. Desktop support means real hands-on work: swapping a failing hard drive, reimaging a machine, or tracking down why a specific application keeps crashing on one particular user's laptop and nobody else's.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Respond to desktop hardware and software support requests
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues directly at the user's workstation
  • Escalate unresolved problems to the appropriate specialist team
  • Maintain accurate records of hardware assets and issue history

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in information technology or a related field is expected, though a diploma is also considered, along with strong troubleshooting skills and familiarity with ticketing and remote-support tools. Hands-on comfort with physical hardware matters as much as software troubleshooting here.

Skills That Matter

  • Hardware and software troubleshooting
  • Ticketing systems
  • Clear customer communication

Good to Have

Any experience imaging or reprovisioning machines at scale, basic networking troubleshooting beyond a single workstation, and genuine patience walking a non-technical user through a fix step by step over the phone or in person.

Why This Role

Ganeshguri has a modest but steady IT presence in Guwahati, and this support team covers a genuinely wide range of hardware age and condition, since not every device gets refreshed on the same cycle, which keeps the troubleshooting varied rather than routine. Naukri Mitra has listed a few support roles from this employer, and associates who've joined recently describe the hands-on hardware exposure as more valuable for their long-term IT career than a purely software-focused support role would have been.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a practical troubleshooting exercise and a discussion of how you'd handle a frustrated user with a recurring issue. Candidates who stay calm and methodical during the exercise tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Guwahati

Location & Pay

This role is based at Ganeshguri, Guwahati, pin code 781028, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹36,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four weeks.
