Empower AI is seeking a Field Service Lead (Pittsburgh Field Office / National Training Center (NTC)) to lead the daily operations of Tier II desk-side, field, printer, and training center support teams for an enterprise IT Customer Support Services program supporting a Department of War agency with approximately 13,000 users at headquarters, regional, field, and training locations. The Lead directly manages desktop and field service technicians, owns Tier II performance against SLAs and AQLs, coordinates dispatch and on-site coverage across sites, and ensures every resolution is secure, documented, and confirmed by the customer. This hands-on leadership role reports to the Field Service Manager and partners closely with the Service Desk, endpoint engineering, communications, and asset management teams. This is a salaried, FLSA-exempt position in which you will independently analyze situations, determine the appropriate course of action, and exercise discretion and independent judgment on matters of significance to the program and its customers.

• Supervise desktop support and field service technicians across multiple sites, including scheduling, on-site coverage and dispatch, on-call rotations, attendance, performance management, coaching, and professional development.
• Own Tier II operational performance: monitor escalated ticket queues, aging, and PL1-PL4 resolution SLAs and AQLs; rebalance workload; and take corrective action to protect service levels and customer experience.
• Enforce the Customer-Confirmed Ticket Closure process and documentation standards through ticket audits and quality reviews, and drive down reopen rates and repeat incidents.
• Coordinate on-site support for PL1/PL2 critical incidents, executive and VIP needs, training center and classroom readiness, and printer and multi-function device service, including vendor escalation and pre-approved travel.
• Plan and oversee hardware refresh and workstation deployment activities in coordination with endpoint engineering and asset management, ensuring STIG-compliant images, encryption, asset tagging, and inventory accuracy.
• Analyze escalation trends and recurring problems, lead the team's inputs to Proactive Problem Management, After-Action Reviews, and Root Cause Analyses, and prioritize knowledge articles and Tier I enablement recommendations.
• Prepare Tier II, printer, and training center performance data and narrative inputs for the Customer Support Metrics Dashboard, Monthly Customer Support Activity Report, and Quarterly XLA Performance Report.
• Maintain desktop support standard operating procedures, onboarding and training programs, and safety and equipment-handling practices; support recruiting, interviewing, and clearance onboarding of technicians.

• HDI Desktop Support Manager, ITIL 4 Foundation or Practitioner, or CompTIA Security+ CE certification.
• Experience supporting Department of War (DoW), DoD, or Intelligence Community IT environments and working across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS enclaves.
• Experience supervising geographically dispersed field technicians and coordinating pre-approved travel.
• Familiarity with DISA STIGs, ACAS/Nessus vulnerability scanning, and vulnerability remediation tracking through POA&Ms.
• Experience with enterprise printer fleet management software and vendor/DLA service coordination.
• Experience with Power BI or similar dashboard tools for performance reporting.
