Job Description: Level 2 IT Technician

Position Summary
The Level 2 IT Technician serves as the primary escalation point for technical support
requests that exceed the scope of the Level 1 Support team. While maintaining the high
standard of professional technical assistance established by Tier 1, the Level 2 Technician
manages more complex infrastructure issues, systems administration tasks, and technical
projects. This role is critical in bridging the gap between front-line support and senior
infrastructure teams, providing mentorship and technical guidance to Level 1 staff to
ensure organizational continuity and technical excellence.

● Knowledge Transfer: Develop and maintain high-quality documentation and SOPs
for the internal knowledge base to empower Level 1 self-service and triage.
● Onboarding Oversight: Oversee complex access provisioning and account setups
initiated by Level 1 to ensure strict adherence to security protocols.
Systems & Project Execution
● Security & Compliance: Monitor and enforce IT security policies and audit controls,
ensuring data integrity across all managed systems.

Workspace administration, Microsoft 365, and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP,

related field preferred; relevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA Network+, Security+, or
MCSA) are highly valued.
Technical & Specialized Skills
● System Administration: Hands-on experience with Active Directory, Group Policy,
and device management.
● Ticket Management: Expertise in helpdesk ticketing software and the ability to
manage complex ticket lifecycles from intake through escalation.
● Professional Documentation: Ability to write clear, technical procedural manuals
for use by both technical staff and non-technical end-users.
Soft Skills

maintaining a high level of empathy for end-user challenges.

long-term project deadlines under minimal supervision.
