All three of our colleges are designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions enrolling approximately 20,000 students each academic year.

Therefore, we prioritize applicants who demonstrate they understand the benefits diversity brings to a professional educational community. The successful candidate will be an equity-minded individual committed to collaborating with faculty, classified staff, administration, students and community partners who are also committed to closing equity gaps. The San Mateo County Community College District seeks employees who value mentorship and working in a collegial, collaborative environment, guided by a commitment to helping all students achieve their educational goals.

The Position:
Under direction of the Director of Information Technology Support Services, the IT Support Technician II works as a member of the District-wide technology support team to provide information technology support to the administrative and instructional users throughout the District. An IT Support Technician II provides support to faculty, staff, and students on various computer platforms, audio-visual technology, networks, and applications. The IT Support Technician II performs technical work involving troubleshooting with the support of other members of the technology support team. The work involves a variety of technologies and actions, including installation, operation, configuration, repair, modification, and support of computers, electronic components, audio/video/multimedia equipment, software applications, desktop applications, some network servers supporting instructional programs, and other equipment.

Public contact is extensive and includes ITS department staff, other support team members, faculty staff, students, and technology vendors and suppliers for the purpose of determining and resolving technology problems, planning upgrades, or making improvements. A high degree of independent judgment is required to resolve frequent minor and occasional major problems that occur. Consequences of errors in judgment could be costly in terms of equipment damage, loss of staff time, financial loss, and negative customer relations; however, supervisory controls and the ability to rely on the assistance of other members of the technology support team will reduce the risk of serious errors. An IT Support Technician II leads the work of student assistants and other staff as assigned.
