Tier1 Student Technician – Fall 2024

Last updated:  2/21/24

The ITECS Service Desk provides technical support to multiple departments within the College of Engineering.  We are the first point of contact for questions and problems from students, faculty and staff.  We manage software and hardware in multiple locations on Main and Centennial campuses.


We are fully staffed for the Spring 2024 semester but we may be hiring Tier 1 Student Technicians that will be able to work through Fall 2024, from August to December.  Should this position prove to be a good fit, we aim to keep our Technicians employed through the following Spring semester and beyond.  Student Technicians that maintain employment through multiple semesters may be eligible for promotions and pay raises.


We strive to help develop our Student Technicians so that they may use their training for their future careers.  In addition to technical skills, current and previous Technicians have cultivated communication skills, project management, leadership, problem solving, multitasking, responsibility and resourcefulness.
