Job Description

The IT Technician supports technology in three areas at PRTC: internal end-user support for cooperative employees, residential PC repair through PRTC’s community PC repair service, and PC support for enterprise managed services customers as needed.

The role installs, diagnoses, repairs, maintains, and provisions computers, mobile devices, and peripherals; resolves issues accurately and promptly; and helps users of every skill level get the most from their technology. Most repair work is performed in-shop, with occasional on-site visits to member homes and customer businesses.

Responsibilities and independence grow as skills and experience develop.
