About Cross Link

At Cross Link Consulting, we don't fix computers, we serve people! We are a Managed Services Provider (MSP) offering IT support, cybersecurity, and strategic technology services to businesses and organizations across the Greater Augusta and Central Savannah River Area. Over the years we've built something more than outsourced IT - we've become "the friendly IT department down the hall."

We believe our success comes from more than technical know-how; it comes from people who are called to serve others. Our team thrives when we put our clients first, solve problems with creativity, and protect people from risk with diligence. That's why we foster a company culture that values both professional excellence and personal calling.

A Day in the Life as an IT Support Engineer

As an IT Support Engineer at Cross Link, you will serve as one of our primary resources for incoming remote support requests. You will take ownership of issues from initial troubleshooting through resolution, escalation, or coordination with the appropriate vendor or team member. The client relationship built through each interaction is yours. That ownership is the core of what makes this role meaningful.

A typical day runs wide: a printer down at one client site, a new employee to onboard and provision at another, and even a suspicious email forwarding rule flagged in Microsoft 365 that needs a judgment call before the end of the business day. You triage, prioritize, and execute because you know your craft.

Alongside the reactive work, you carry a standing slate of scheduled responsibilities. Weekly software update cycles, monthly backup reviews, and recurring email security alert reviews are yours to own and keep consistent. Clients count on that consistency even when nothing feels urgent.

A significant part of the client base operates in the accounting, legal, and public health verticals, which means the applications on their desktops are not always standard issue. Getting fluent in the professional tax, accounting, and practice management software these industries run on is part of becoming effective in this role.

Security is woven into the day, not bolted on at the end. Reviewing endpoint protection alerts, investigating phishing reports, and responding to suspicious account activity in Microsoft 365 are regular touchpoints. Clients trust us to catch what they miss, and you'll play an important role in protecting them.
