Digital Service Technician

Maximising the effective use of digital office technologies, productivity software and digital communications in organisations.

Overview

As a Digital Service Technician, you’re in a support role often found in organisations, large and small, in all sectors, and within public, private and voluntary organisations.  

Organisations of all types are increasing applying digital technologies across all their business functions to maximise productivity.  The demand for people who can support and implement these digital operations and digital transformation projects is increasing. 

Similarly, organisations of all types are increasingly supporting their service users though online and digital channels, as they develop omni-channel approaches to meeting customer needs, deflect traditional telephone and face-to-face contacts and to reduce costs.

So your broad purpose is to maximise the effective use of digital office technologies, productivity software, digital communications, including collaborative technologies, and digital information systems to achieve objectives.

You will support the external customers and clients of their organisation though a wide variety of digital channels.

This may be to help them access and receive services, to coach and support them in their use of the digital systems; to support them to complete and submit information remotely and to diagnose and resolve their problems in relation to their access to and use of the digital technologies.
