Job Description

The IT Field Technician serves as the hands-on, on-the-ground IT presence across multiple healthcare facilities, ensuring reliable operation of end-user devices, network infrastructure, audiovisual systems, and clinical technology. This role operates as the physical extension of a remote IT team that provides helpdesk support, cloud administration, and IT project oversight. The field technician is responsible for all work that requires a physical presence — hardware deployment, cabling, rack work, and face-to-face end-user support — while collaborating daily with remote colleagues who handle escalations, cloud platform management, and project coordination. The ideal candidate is self-directed, communicates proactively with distributed teammates, and thrives working independently in a regulated healthcare environment.

• Document all work performed in the ITSM ticketing system with clear, professional notes
• Maintain site-specific runbooks, network diagrams, and equipment inventories

Remote Team Collaboration:

• Serve as the on-site hands and eyes for the remote IT team; execute physical tasks directed by cloud administrators and project managers
• Communicate site conditions, progress, and blockers in real time via Teams, Slack, or the organization’s designated collaboration platform
• Participate in daily standups and weekly planning sessions with the remote team to align on priorities and project timelines
• Coordinate with remote helpdesk staff on escalated tickets that require physical intervention (hardware swaps, cable traces, site inspections)
• Provide site-level context and photos/documentation to support remote cloud and infrastructure decision-making
• Flag on-the-ground risks, facility changes, or environmental issues that the remote team cannot observe directly

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate’s degree in IT or related field preferred
