We’re currently looking to hire a Tier 2 IT Support Specialist on a full time, permanent basis. This is an additional position to our team. We’re looking to drive efficiencies throughout our service delivery and increase our customer experience satisfaction.

As a Tier 2 IT Support Specialist you'll mainly be focused on three types of work – in-office remote support, client onsite IT support, and in-the-field build-out project work. You will also be scheduled to assist with larger build-out and tech refresh projects on a case-by-case basis. The ideal candidate will have an understanding of HIPAA and current cybersecurity defenses. Previous employment with an IT Managed Service company is a plus.

Syntec provides information technology services and solutions solely to dental practices, including computer network support, HIPAA-compliant cyber security solutions, cloud backup and business continuity services, multimedia audio-video systems, infrastructure cabling and phone systems.

What kind of person are we looking for?
Cutting Edge - As a Dental-specific IT Managed Service Provider, we are tasked with delivering the latest technology to our clients, while keeping their business objectives in the front of our minds.

An Inquiring Mind - Our clients have questions, and as the leader in our field it's important that you give them accurate answers!

An ability to multitask - You'll be balancing client service requests, internal IT projects, external IT projects while simultaneously updating and completing your service tickets, updating training documentation, etc.

Steve McQueen - Calm, Cool, and Collected. We’re big on process and planning, but this is IT, we make a living fixing stuff that breaks or just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. Most of the time things go smooth, but you’re bound to be thrown a few curve balls. We need you to be able to take a deep breath, then get back to it, resolve the issue and leave our clients grinning ear to ear!

An Excellent Communicator - Our clients see us as an extension of their own team, and we need you to be able to talk to them on their terms, turn the geek-speak into something they can actually understand. Internally, you need to provide us with that same level of clear, concise communication.
