Position Description

Under general supervision, the IT support technician provides technical assistance, training, and support in the use of IT hardware and software, and performs other related duties as required. There are three levels (I, II, and III) within the IT Support Technician class. Each is distinguished by its assigned role, skill and experience level and the amount of training and supervision required for successful performance. The IT Support Technician I is a trainee level. Incumbents are expected to work closely with IT Support Technician II and other IT staff as appropriate to complete responsibilities with supervision.
