Technical Support Specialist Tier III

Job Summary

The Tier 3 IT Support Specialist serves as the escalation point for complex technical issues that cannot be resolved by Tier 1 or Tier 2 support. This senior-level position bridges the gap between frontline support and systems administration, providing expertise across desktops, servers, networks, and business-critical applications. The Tier 3 Specialist also assists with IT infrastructure projects, security initiatives, and technology rollouts.

The ideal candidate is a resourceful problem-solver with a strong technical foundation in both end-user support and enterprise IT systems. Success in this role requires the ability to work independently, mentor junior team members, and deliver excellent, timely service to employees and patients in a fast-paced healthcare environment.

• Document issues, resolutions, and processes in the ticketing system with accuracy and completeness.
