Joe Edwards
@joeedwards
IT support and systems support professional delivering Tier 1/2 troubleshooting, training, and compliance-driven service.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented IT and systems support professional with hands-on experience troubleshooting, delivering technical support, documenting issues, and training end users. In my Johnson Controls role, I provided Tier 1 and Tier 2 support for fire alarm and suppression systems, resolving 90% of issues without escalation while improving customer satisfaction scores by 15% through system usage and maintenance training.
Across roles, I’ve consistently analyzed system usage, logged and managed service requests (including Salesforce), and reduced response time by 20% through proactive follow-ups and streamlined ticketing. I also bring a strong compliance mindset, supporting NFPA and UL standards and working across diverse, fast-paced environments—where I independently manage responsibilities, protect confidentiality, and drive continuous process improvement.
