Technical Support jobs in Abbotsford, BC

Position Summary

The IT & TyreSense Support Analyst is an entry-level technical role that supports day-to-day IT services, TyreSense applications, internal tools,

testing, and documentation. The position is intended for an employee who is developing practical experience and will work under the direction and

technical guidance of senior IT and TyreSense team members.

The role provides an opportunity to build skills across user support, troubleshooting, Python scripting, internal application support, software

testing, and secure technology operations. Responsibilities will increase gradually as knowledge, experience, and demonstrated capability

develop.

Core Purpose of the Role

Provide reliable first-line IT and TyreSense application support within documented procedures and assigned access.

Assist with Python scripts, internal applications, testing, and automation under technical guidance.

Document issues, work completed, application knowledge, and support procedures clearly.

Learn RIMEX systems, TyreSense workflows, cybersecurity expectations, and controlled change practices.

Escalate issues that exceed the role’s authority, knowledge, or assigned scope.

1. IT User Support

• Provide first-line support for Windows computers, approved software, Microsoft 365, user access, and common software issues.
• Receive and update assigned help desk tickets with clear notes, troubleshooting performed, and the current status.

• Follow documented support procedures and escalate unresolved, security-sensitive, or higher-risk issues to senior IT staff.
• Maintain professional and helpful communication with users throughout the support process.

2. TyreSense Application Support

• Provide basic support for approved TyreSense applications, utilities, sensor-testing tools, and related user workflows.
• Help users with approved installations, access, basic configuration, and common application issues.
• Reproduce reported issues where possible and collect logs, screenshots, error messages, application versions, and device information.
• Assist with testing approved fixes, updates, installers, and configuration changes.
• Escalate product defects, customer-impacting issues, and complex software problems to the responsible TyreSense technical team.

3. Internal Applications and Python Support

• Assist with the development, testing, documentation, and maintenance of approved internal applications and automation tools using Python or
• other approved technologies.
• Complete defined application changes and scripting tasks under the guidance and review of senior technical team members.
• Use approved source-control repositories and maintain clear comments, version history, and supporting documentation.
• Help maintain approved internal tools such as SensorTracker and RIVET within assigned scope and confirmed business ownership.

• Record test outcomes, defects, limitations, and supporting evidence clearly.
• Create and update simple user guides, installation notes, troubleshooting procedures, and application support documentation.
• Document application dependencies, source locations, configuration requirements, and known issues as assigned.
• Provide knowledge transfer so internal tools and support processes do not depend on one individual.

5. Security and Change Control

• Follow RIMEX cybersecurity, acceptable-use, access-control, software-installation, change-management, and data-protection requirements.
• Use only approved systems for company source code, documentation, credentials, and application packages.
• Never place passwords, service credentials, API keys, or other secrets in source code or unsecured notes.
• Report security alerts, unexpected application behaviour, suspected vulnerabilities, or unauthorized access concerns immediately.
• Obtain technical review and approval before production deployment, privileged access, or changes affecting business-critical systems.

6. Learning and Team Support

• Participate in coaching, technical reviews, team meetings, demonstrations, and assigned training.
• Ask questions and seek guidance when requirements, risks, or technical expectations are unclear.
• Work collaboratively with IT, TyreSense software, production, engineering, Information Security, and service teams.
• Accept feedback and apply lessons learned to future support, testing, scripting, and documentation work.
