The IT Application Support Administrator I provides support for desktop applications, workstations, and internal IT systems, ensuring that issues are addressed efficiently and with minimal disruption to employees. The role also takes proactive measures to identify recurring problems, investigate their root causes, and contribute to preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future.

This may involve asking targeted questions to identify the root cause, guiding users through troubleshooting steps by phone, email, chat, or in person, and assisting HungerStation employees with setting up IT applications and resolving technical issues.

Where an issue cannot be resolved directly, the IT Application Support Administrator I is responsible for escalating it to the appropriate internal teams, such as software development, infrastructure, or other specialized IT teams.
