Nature of job: This individual works in residence halls to assist students in connecting their personal computers to URHnet: the University Residence Hall network, an ethernet-based network. Work is typically done in student rooms but lab-based consulting hours are required as well.

NetTechs also report and respond to general problems on the network. Weekly hours are greater during the beginning of fall semester and could reach a maximum of 20-25 but reduce to 8-12 as the year progresses. Before applying please make sure your schedule can accommodate this work load.

Requirements: This individual should possess good technical computer skills. Prior experience in working with either Windows-based PCs or Macintoshes is required, working with both desirable.

Site Manager: dual role with PCC or NetTech
As network technologies have become more robust and responsive to centralized administration, the traditional role of Site Manager has evolved. Currently, we are not directly recruiting for Managers but will appoint them from others on staff. Fulfilling this role in addition to another typically requires no more than 4-8 hours a week additional time.

Nature of job: This individual works in residence hall computer centers to maintain the general operation of the center. Specific responsibilities include things like daily paper checks of lab printers. Contact with users is incidental. Work is not done in shifts but around the individual's schedule to maintain operations. Responding as major problems occur is necessary and Managers "cover" for each other when one leaves campus for weekends.

Requirements: This individual should possess good cognitive skills for basic operational maintenance. Prior experience in working with either Windows-based PCs or Macintoshes is preferred but dependability is more important than technical savvy.  Pre-service training is provided to learn specific procedures. Site Managers must live in the university residence hall where they work. Staff meetings, biweekly or monthly, are mandatory.
