Essential Job Duties:
Provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 technical support for classroom and conference room technology at NC State. As a member of the ClassTech team, you will keep instructional spaces working reliably for faculty, staff, and students. The role combines hands-on troubleshooting, project support, end-user training, and supervision of student technicians. This is not a desk job. You will move between buildings on foot and by van throughout the day.
