The IT Technician’s role is to provide employees across the organization with reliable technical support and the tools necessary to perform their roles effectively.

The incumbent monitors, maintains, installs, configures, and supports end-user systems and devices. The role includes diagnosing hardware and software issues, documenting problems and resolutions, prioritizing requests based on urgency and business impact, and escalating unresolved issues to the appropriate level of support.
