Description


The Service Technician – Level 2 provides advanced technical support to managed services clients, ensuring reliable performance across networks, systems, voice, and security environments. This role serves as an escalation point for Level 1 technicians, resolving complex tickets, assisting with project implementations, and maintaining high standards of service delivery. The Level 2 Technician combines technical expertise with strong communication skills to deliver timely solutions and an excellent client experience.

Key Responsibilities


  • Provide advanced troubleshooting and resolution for escalated service tickets across network, server, workstation, voice, and security platforms.
  • Address Level 2 issues such as:
    • Resolving complex Active Directory, DNS, and Group Policy errors.
    • Advanced O365 issues (mail flow, shared mailbox permissions, Teams/SharePoint access).
    • Network troubleshooting (switch/VLAN misconfigurations, firewall rule adjustments, VPN issues).
    • VoIP quality issues and SIP trunk escalations.
    • Endpoint performance issues requiring registry or driver-level fixes.
    • Malware or security alerts that require containment and remediation beyond Level 1 capabilities.
  • Perform detailed root cause analysis and implement preventative measures.
  • Support the deployment, configuration, and optimization of MSP-managed tools and platforms.
  • Assist with client onboarding, system upgrades, and project rollouts as directed by senior engineers or project managers.
  • Document all work performed, update tickets thoroughly, and follow internal SOPs for consistency and quality.
  • Monitor SLA adherence and prioritize tasks to ensure service standards are consistently met.
  • Collaborate with Level 1 technicians by providing guidance, mentorship, and knowledge sharing.
  • Escalate unresolved issues to Level 3 engineers or senior staff as appropriate.
  • Participate in on-call rotations and provide after-hours support when needed.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, documentation, and client experience.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise


  • 2–4 years of IT support experience, preferably in an MSP or similar service-driven environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, O365, networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, VLANs, firewalls), and endpoint management.
  • Familiarity with RMM, PSA, and ticketing systems.
  • Experience supporting VoIP and security platforms is a plus.
  • Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills with a customer-first mindset.
  • Strong written and verbal communication abilities.
  • Relevant certifications (CompTIA Network+, Security+, Microsoft, Cisco, etc.) preferred but not required.
Success in This Role
A successful Service Technician – Level 2 delivers consistent, reliable technical support, resolves complex issues with minimal escalation, and helps elevate the overall performance of the service desk team while ensuring a positive client experience.
