Job Title

Bilingual Specialist, Tier 2 Support

About This Role:

Workplace Arrangements:

After the onsite training period at our Ottawa Home Office this role will be able to be flexible: the employee can work remotely, or onsite. There will be some travel to store and other GT locations on an as needed basis for issues that cannot be resolved remotely.

What You'll Be Doing:

- Manage and prioritize Tier 2 tickets, project tasks, onsite assignments, and other responsibilities from assignment through completion, adhering to Giant Tiger processes, procedures, service expectations, and agreed timelines, while coordinating dependencies, and keeping appropriate stakeholders informed.
- Investigate and resolve complex, unfamiliar, high-impact, and urgent technical issues, engaging teammates, other IT groups, management, and vendors when additional expertise or escalation is required.
- Configure, troubleshoot, replace, and support corporate and store technologies. This includes computers, mobile devices, CCTV, networking gear, firewalls, switches, telephony, overhead paging/music systems, printers, 4G modems, and new store opening deployments.
- Provide onsite IT support at Giant Tiger facilities, primarily at the Ottawa Home Office, with scheduled monthly onsite support visits to Laval, Johnstown, Brockville,



and other locations as required, as well as travel to complete work that cannot be resolved remotely.
- Request and review quotes from third-party partners for installations and repairs, and coordinate vendor work through completion to ensure appropriate service, follow-up, and value for Giant Tiger.
- Maintain up-to-date expertise across core support domains to pull an equal share of the team's workload, while assisting teammates with tickets, coverage, deployments, and onsite work as needed.
- Carry the after-hours pager as scheduled and respond to Tier 2 incidents and service requests in accordance with Giant Tiger after-hours processes and procedures.
- Create and maintain Tier 2 knowledge base articles and technical documentation, and share newly acquired knowledge with the Help Desk and 2nd Line team.
- Communicate effectively with requesters, teammates, management, project stakeholders, vendors, and other IT groups as required to support effective service delivery.
- Identify opportunities to improve Tier 2 processes, troubleshooting, documentation, technology support, and service delivery, including reducing recurring issues and unnecessary dependency on vendors or higher-level support.
- Continue developing technical and operational knowledge through new Giant Tiger technologies, relevant training, and professional development.

What You'll Bring:

- Post-secondary degree,



preferably in Computer Systems Technology or Computer Systems Support, and a minimum of 3 years of experience providing Tier 2 IT customer support.
- A+ Certification.
- Bilingual (English/French) required.
- Strong customer service skills.

- Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and information-gathering skills.
- Experience using an ITSM system such as ServiceNow or FreshService.
- Ability to maintain accurate and effective ITSM ticket documentation.
- Ability to work effectively with internal technical teams, vendors, subcontractors, store employees, warehouse employees, corporate users, and management.
- Ability and willingness to learn unfamiliar technologies and expand technical knowledge across the areas supported by the 2nd Line team.
- Reliability and punctuality are required.

Assets You May Have:
