- Escalate unresolved or complex technical issues to Systems Administrators, Systems Engineers, Network Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Cybersecurity personnel, or other appropriate technical teams.
- Coordinate with support organizations for incidents involving NIPRNet or SIPRNet services outside the technician’s assigned support boundary.
- Monitor assigned tickets and ensure incidents and service requests are addressed within established service-level and performance requirements.
- Provide status updates to users and technical leadership for unresolved or high-priority incidents.
