KEY RESPONSIBILITY Store IT Support
• Diagnose and resolve POS, billing software, and network issues at retail and F&B stores — including application errors, WAN/LAN faults, Wi-Fi drops, and VPN instability. • Troubleshoot and resolve biometric attendance and access control machine faults — sensor errors, connectivity failures, mis-punch corrections, and firmware issues. • Investigate IT-related customer complaints raised by store teams — payment processing failures, queue management errors, and connectivity-related service disruptions. • Deliver remote support via remote access tools; conduct on-site visits for hardware replacement, reconfiguration, or escalated POS issues that cannot be resolved remotely. • Log, triage, and manage all store support tickets within SLA; flag at-risk tickets proactively and maintain clear communication with store managers throughout resolution.
New Store IT Setup & Openings
• Coordinate with the project and brand team ahead of new store openings to confirm IT asset lists, timeline milestones, network requirements, and site readiness. • Install all IT assets at new store locations — POS terminals, printers, scanners, cabling, and peripherals — and update the asset register upon completion. • Configure the full store network stack — routers, managed switches, wireless APs, and VLANs for POS, corporate, guest, and IoT
traffic; validate LAN and WAN connectivity.
• Configure the store firewall, establish VPN tunnels to Head Office, install and test billing software and mPOS devices end-to-end, and commission biometric machines. • Conduct a comprehensive pre-opening IT readiness review and sign off the store IT checklist before formally handing the site to store management.
Store Closure & IT Asset Management
• Manage the full IT asset collection process for closing stores — de-install, catalogue, and reconcile all equipment including POS terminals, switches, APs, biometric machines, and peripherals against the asset register. • Clean, inspect, and securely pack all assets for transport to the central warehouse; update the asset register with condition and storage location. • Decommission all systems at closing stores — revoke user credentials, terminate network and ISP access, perform data wipe on all devices, and archive configuration documentation. • Coordinate the IT closure workstream with the project team, HR, and ISP; track service tickets for each closure task and produce a completion report confirming full recovery and decommissioning.
User Hardware & Software Support
• Diagnose and resolve hardware faults across laptops, desktops, monitors, printers, scanners, and peripherals for Head Office and store users; coordinate warranty repairs or vendor RMA where required. • Diagnose and resolve software issues — OS errors, Microsoft 365 faults, application crashes, licensing problems, and configuration errors; perform reinstallation or patching as required. • Process user access requests — create, modify, and revoke Active Directory accounts, shared mailbox permissions, application access, and network drive assignments. • Deliver remote support via remote desktop tools; conduct on-site visits for hardware replacements, device swaps, or complex multi-system issues that require physical presence. • Provide IT training and guidance on Microsoft 365, VPN usage, and password management; create how-to guides for recurring queries to reduce repeat ticket volumes.
User Onboarding — IT Setup
• Configure hardware for new employees — OS imaging, domain join, standard software installation, peripheral setup, and asset tagging; ensure the device is fully operational before Day 1. • Install and configure all role-appropriate software — Microsoft 365, business applications, VPN client, and communication tools; verify all software is licensed, activated, and correctly configured. • Register new employees in the biometric attendance and access control system — capture biometric data, assign employee ID, configure site-level access permissions, and confirm enrolment. • Conduct a structured IT orientation with each new joiner covering device usage, Microsoft 365, VPN access, password policy, acceptable use, and helpdesk contact procedures. • Issue all IT assets on the joining date; record issued items in the asset management system and complete the IT onboarding
Qualification & Certifications
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical discipline. • Relevant professional certifications in infrastructure technologies are preferred.
