Who we are looking for

A service-minded Helpdesk Engineer who owns each ticket end to end: diagnose first, fix what you can, and escalate with clear evidence when you can't. You will join our global Helpdesk in Chișinău, the first line of IT support for Gilat employees across Israel, Europe, Latin America and Asia.

This is a hands-on role in our Global Technology & Infrastructure group. Each Helpdesk engineer is paired with a senior System Administrator as a mentor, with a clear growth path toward system administration.

• Manage users, security groups and file-share permissions in Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, including SSO application setup.
• Set up and support Windows laptops; deploy software and patches with SCCM, Intune and Automox, and manage BitLocker encryption.
• Provide remote support (TeamViewer) to users and to sites without local IT, coordinating local vendors for on-site work.
• Handle access and security requests: web access policies (Netskope / Island), network access control (Portnox) and CrowdStrike endpoint protection.
• Triage security alerts raised by our SOC with the affected users and devices, then resolve or escalate them.
• Run routine operational checks: Commvault backup restore tests, PRTG monitoring and recurring reports.
• Escalate to the System team with full diagnostics, and document solutions in the knowledge base.
