IT Support Technician (Tier II) (Remote)

ArcherTalent is partnering with a local Managed Service Provider (MSP) to hire an experienced Tier II IT Support Technician. Our client supports businesses with reliable, responsive, and proactive IT services, working closely with their customers to maintain technology environments, resolve technical issues, and keep their teams operating securely and efficiently.

This is a part-time W-2 opportunity starting at approximately 25 hours per week, with the potential to grow into a full-time role as the business continues to expand. We're looking for an IT professional who enjoys hands-on problem solving, working directly with clients, and the flexibility of a part-time schedule.

The Role

As a Tier II IT Support Technician, you will provide technical support across multiple client environments, handling issues that require deeper troubleshooting and technical expertise beyond basic help desk support.

This is a hands-on, client-facing position that combines remote technical support with onsite client work. Approximately 20-40% of your time will be spent at client locations, with the remainder supporting clients remotely.

The position will initially average approximately 25 hours per week, with the expectation that the role may grow to 40 hours per week as client needs and the business continue to expand. The position offers flexibility in scheduling, and we will work with the right candidate to establish a consistent weekly schedule based on both their availability and client needs.

Local travel to client locations is required, and business mileage is reimbursed.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide Tier II technical support across multiple client environments
  • Troubleshoot and resolve escalated desktop, application, network, hardware, and connectivity issues
  • Support Microsoft 365 environments, including Teams, Outlook, Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and related applications
  • Administer and troubleshoot Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD and Active Directory environments
  • Support both Windows and macOS devices and environments
  • Manage user accounts, permissions, groups, access, and authentication issues

  • Use RMM tools to remotely monitor, manage, troubleshoot, and maintain client systems
  • Manage support requests through a ticketing/PSA platform and maintain accurate documentation
  • Escalate complex issues when appropriate while providing clear troubleshooting history and documentation
  • Communicate technical issues and solutions clearly to technical and non-technical users
  • Identify recurring technical issues and opportunities to improve client environments
  • Collaborate with other technicians and engineers to resolve complex issues
Technology Environment
  • NinjaOne / Ninja RMM - experience with Ninja is beneficial, but experience with other RMM platforms is transferable
  • ScreenConnect / ConnectWise Control - remote support and troubleshooting
  • Halo - experience with Halo is helpful, but experience with other PSA or ticketing systems is acceptable
  • Ubiquiti
  • Cisco
  • Fortinet / FortiGate
  • Palo Alto Networks
  • Microsoft 365 / Teams
  • Windows and macOS environments

Candidates do not need experience with every platform listed above. We are primarily looking for strong Tier II troubleshooting skills and the ability to quickly learn new technologies and client environments.

Required Qualifications
  • 2+ years of professional IT support experience
  • Demonstrated experience troubleshooting Tier II-level technical issues
  • Experience supporting users across multiple systems, applications, and devices
  • Strong knowledge of Windows environments
  • Experience supporting Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams
  • Working knowledge of Active Directory and/or Microsoft Entra ID
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, Wi-Fi, switching, and firewalls

Preferred Qualifications
  • Previous Managed Service Provider (MSP) experience

  • Experience with HaloPSA
  • Hands-on experience with Ubiquiti, Cisco, Fortinet, and/or Palo Alto networking equipment
  • Experience supporting macOS devices in a business environment
  • Experience with endpoint security, EDR, backup, and cybersecurity tools
  • Experience with workstation deployments, migrations, and new-user setups
  • Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, or other relevant IT certifications
  • Experience designing, deploying, or troubleshooting point-to-point (P2P) wireless networks is a significant plus
What Success Looks Like

The right person for this role is a strong troubleshooter who is equally comfortable working remotely or walking into a client's office to solve a problem firsthand.

You don't need to know every technology in our stack on day one. You do need a strong technical foundation, the ability to troubleshoot methodically, and the confidence to take ownership of an issue through resolution.

Because you'll interact directly with clients, communication matters. You should be able to explain technical issues clearly, provide a professional client experience, and know when an issue can be resolved independently versus when it should be escalated.

Position Details
  • Employment: Part-Time, W-2
  • Hours: Approximately 25 hours per week
  • Schedule: Flexible; the selected candidate will have input into establishing their regular weekly availability
  • Work Environment: Hybrid - remote support and onsite client work
  • Client-Site Work: Approximately 20-40%
  • Travel: Local travel to client locations required; business mileage reimbursed
  • Compensation: $30 / hr
  • Location: Denver Metro Area
