Join Our Team

At Simply Ed, we support NYC public schools by making sure the technology that powers classrooms works reliably every single day. As a School IT Support Technician at Thurgood Marshall Academy Lower School, you won’t just “fix devices” — you’ll directly enable instruction, reduce downtime, and help teachers and students stay focused on learning rather than tech problems.

When a printer goes down, a Smartboard fails, or a classroom device won’t connect, learning can stall. Your work ensures that classrooms stay functional, instruction continues smoothly, and technology supports student success.

You’ll serve as the on-site technical point person, owning day-to-day technology health and playing a visible, valued role in the school’s daily operations.

Mission-driven work – Your technical skills directly support teaching, learning, and classroom continuity every day.
Supportive culture – Open communication, respectful environments, and a leadership team that values operational excellence.
Career growth – Build real-world, school-based IT experience while strengthening your troubleshooting and systems skills.
Training & coaching – Learn from experienced school-based professionals and grow your technical and professional confidence.
Aligned scheduling – Consistent weekday hours that follow the NYC DOE school calendar.

What You’ll Do

As a Simply Ed School IT Support Technician, you will:

Maintain the overall health and functionality of school devices, including laptops, desktops, and classroom technology.
Configure and manage printer IP addresses and troubleshoot printing and connectivity issues.
Reimage and support Smartboards and other instructional technology.
Provide general classroom technology maintenance and troubleshooting.
Assist teachers and staff with basic technical support to minimize instructional disruptions.
Ensure all technology is ready and operational for daily school use.
Track, document, and communicate technology issues and resolutions as needed.
Attend required trainings and staff meetings.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking individuals who are:

Motivated by keeping systems running smoothly and minimizing downtime.
Comfortable working in a school environment with students and educators.
Experienced with basic IT support, hardware troubleshooting, and device setup.
Familiar with networking basics, including IP addressing, printers, and connectivity.
Organized, dependable, and able to work independently.
Strong communicators with a customer-service mindset.
Adaptable in fast-paced, real-world environments where priorities can shift quickly.
Cleared (or eligible for clearance) through DOE PETS background check and fingerprinting.
Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus.

What You Gain

Competitive pay of $26/hour.
PETS clearance and valuable DOE school experience.
Hands-on, real-world IT experience in a live school environment.
Exposure to classroom, device, and network troubleshooting at scale.
A chance to build practical skills that translate to future IT and systems roles.
The satisfaction of knowing your work directly supports student learning and school operations.
