Job description

We are seeking a Level 1 & 2 IT Support Technician to maintain the health of our hardware, software, and network infrastructure. You will serve as the first and second line of defense for technical issues - resolving what you can at first contact, digging deeper on escalated problems, and minimizing downtime through rapid incident response., 1.

  • Accurately logging, categorizing, and prioritizing tickets in the ticketing system (Jira, HaloPSA, or similar). Level 2 (Escalated Support):

  • Diagnosing and resolving escalated issues: software glitches, hardware malfunctions, and “ghost in the machine” bugs that L1 couldn’t close.
  • Performing root cause analysis on recurring incidents.
  • Escalating to senior engineers (L3) with clear documentation of troubleshooting steps already taken.

  2. Documentation & Training A great technician doesn’t just fix a problem; they make sure it’s easier to fix next time.

  • Creating “How-to” guides for non-technical staff to promote self-service and reduce repeat tickets.
