Job Story
We are looking for a versatile specialist who can flex between hands-on troubleshooting, behind-the-scenes configuration, and supportive team collaboration like a seasoned pro. Do you thrive in environments where the network never sleeps and neither does your curiosity?
If someone asked your work style, you’d say “Think Mandalorian meets Matrix operator — calm, resourceful, adaptable. This is the way.” If you’re someone who likes your work like your Wi-Fi — fast, reliable, and always on — keep reading.
We need a kind of person who can be:
Independent Operator — 60–70% of your day is self-directed and you love it
Team Conduit — you offer help as fast as you ask for it
Mode-Switch Master — lead or backup, whatever the project calls for
Doc Ninja — document solutions & build SOPs that future teammates will thank you for
Communication Router — meet users at any knowledge level, bringing clarity to their world
Cool Under Latency — things glitch? You don’t; you pivot with it & keep things moving
Self-Starter with Initiative — you don’t wait for tasks; you queue them up
Support and maintain campus telecom and network systems.
Troubleshoot issues with the calm confidence — you’ve rebooted entire situations, so you got this.
Document everything from work orders to new SOPs (because if it’s not documented, did it even happen?).
Collaborate with a tight-knit tech crew while still owning your workload and making independent decisions.
Occasionally work a flexible modified or non-traditional schedule — Infrastructure upgrades occur in the maintenance window, typically post-business hours for optimal uptime.
Participate in an On-Call Trouble Tech rotation - tech emergencies don’t punch a clock.
