Job Title: IT Support Specialist 2

The IT Support Specialist 2 is an experienced technical resource who serves both internal and external clients and acts as the primary escalation point for first-line support staff. Building on the foundation of the Support Specialist 1 role, this position takes ownership of complex problems and troubleshooting, delivers high-quality technology experiences for end-users, and helps set the standards, workflows, and documentation the support team relies on day to day.

Expect to work closely with the CIO on prioritization, issue resolution, projects. This role embodies all of Diamond Assets’ Core Values: Teamwork, Flexibility, Service, Integrity, and Innovation.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the escalation point for IT Support Specialist 1 staff, independently resolving complex end-user, department, and client issues.
• Install, configure, and deploy hardware and software, including building and maintaining standard deployment configurations and imaging/provisioning workflows.
• Perform advanced MDM and client deployment work — device configuration, policy management, software setup and distribution — and refine deployment standards over time.
• Define, document, and enforce technical standards and specifications across deployed systems, ensuring consistency and repeatability.
• Mentor, train, and review the work of Level 1 specialists, helping them grow their technical and customer service skills.
• Own and maintain the IT knowledge base, documentation standards, and administer the IT Help Desk Ticketing System (queue health, categorization, SLA adherence).
• Lead small-to-medium projects and contribute to larger initiatives under the IT Operations Manager.
• Handle escalated, client-facing technical situations with professionalism and clear communication.

Qualifications:

• Technical College degree in Information Technology, end-user devices, a related field, or equivalent experience is mandatory; certifications such as CompTIA A+, Apple Certified Support Professional, are required.
• 3+ years of hands-on end-user support and device repair experience or demonstrated equivalent capability at the Level 1 role.
• Advanced proficiency supporting macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Windows end-users.
• Deep, hands‑on MDM and client‑deployment experience, including configuration profiles, policy management, software distribution, and Apple Business / Apple School ecosystem workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and repair electronic devices, with strong judgment on repair‑versus‑disposition outcomes.
• Proven track record supporting productivity software, email, collaborative systems, and end‑user networking concerns.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor or train less experienced staff and to lead by example.
• Exceptional customer service aptitude, including with escalated or sensitive client interactions.
• Strong problem‑solving abilities — identifying, researching, troubleshooting, and resolving technical issues with minimal supervision.
• Thorough documentation discipline for supported systems, procedures, and processes.
• Robust organizational and task‑management proficiency, including the ability to prioritize across competing demands.

Beyond:

The person in this position is expected to continue to learn, grow and contribute in a fast‑changing and highly productive work environment. In addition, there are high expectations for excellent communication, teamwork, and problem‑solving abilities.
