The Help Desk Technician II is a remote-first support role within Harbor IT’s Service Delivery organization, serving as a primary escalation point for complex support tickets across healthcare, medical, and life sciences clients. This role owns tickets end-to-end, from intake and triage through resolution and documentation, and provides technical mentorship to Help Desk I technicians. The Help Desk Technician II works across a diverse mix of client environments to maintain operational stability and deliver high-quality service that reflects Harbor IT’s customer service standard.

In environments where uptime, data security, and regulatory sensitivity (HIPAA, PHI handling, clinical and lab operations) carry real operational weight, this role demands precision and professionalism. This role requires a growth and development mindset to keep up with the rapidly evolving technology landscape. The Help Desk Technician II approaches troubleshooting with methodical and logical critical thinking. This is a key role in Harbor IT’s Managed Services practice, reporting to the Pod Manager and is a primary developmental pipeline into other Service Delivery career tracks.
