Support Technician Definition
A good support technician has experience with the software and hardware that a particular
company or department is using. They use this expertise to fix problems that a user is
having. If the problem is beyond their expertise then the support technician usually has
a hierarchy of other support personnel to which the issue can be escalated. Sometimes the
issue is network related and is therefore passed on to a network engineer. Other times
the issue can be software related and is then passed on to a software developer.
