Working at Computer Ties

Computer Ties supports customers through Help Desk service, on-site work, computer repair, technology projects, Managed IT, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, and other technical services.

That means team members may work on different types of problems throughout the day and often need to communicate with both customers and coworkers while documenting what was done.

We value people who can solve problems without making unnecessary assumptions, recognize when they need help, and leave useful information behind for the next person who works on the issue.

What We Look For

Clear Communication

Customers should understand what is happening, what has been done, and what comes next.

Being able to explain technical issues clearly is an important part of providing good support.

Careful Troubleshooting

Good technical work begins with understanding the problem before trying to fix it.

We value people who gather information, work logically, test their assumptions, and know when additional research or escalation is appropriate.

Good Documentation

Useful notes help the entire team support customers more consistently.

Team members are expected to document important work, changes, troubleshooting, and follow-up information clearly.

Reliability & Professionalism

Customers and coworkers need people they can count on.

Following through, communicating when something changes, treating people respectfully, and taking ownership of assigned work are important parts of the job.

Areas You May Work In

The exact responsibilities depend on the position, experience level, and current business needs.

Potential areas include:

Help Desk and remote technical support

Workstation and user support

On-site technical service

Device setup and deployment

Computer repair and hardware diagnostics

Network troubleshooting

Technology projects

Customer documentation

Managed IT support

Internal operations and service coordination

Not every position works in every area.

Internship Opportunities

Computer Ties may offer internship opportunities for students or early-career applicants interested in gaining practical exposure to professional IT support.

Internship availability depends on current business needs, scheduling, available supervision, and whether appropriate work is available for meaningful hands-on learning.

Depending on the opportunity, interns may gain exposure to areas such as:

Ticket documentation

Workstation setup

Basic troubleshooting

Hardware handling

Computer repair

Customer-service processes

Internal documentation

Technical support workflows

Internships are intended to provide supervised learning rather than unrestricted access to customer environments.

Customer and System Access

Interns are not automatically given access to customer systems, credentials, restricted information, government or public-safety environments, or sensitive security-management systems.

Some customer environments have contractual, confidentiality, security, or access requirements that make them inappropriate for internship access.

Training may instead use internal systems, staged equipment, non-sensitive customer work, or other supervised activities appropriate to the internship.

For current internship availability, call 517-788-6393.
