Technology Support Specialist at Farm & Forge Club (College Grove, TN) — aijobsearch
Coordinate technology readiness with tournament organizers, coaches, and other staff.
Complete pre-event checks and prepare available backup equipment or approved workarounds.
Provide scheduled on-site support during major tournaments, including occasional evening and weekend assignments.
Complete equipment shutdown, storage, and post-event documentation.

Equipment Readiness and Documentation
Keep technology equipment, cables, accessories, and supplies organized and ready for use.
Maintain basic equipment inventory records and report repair or replacement needs.
Help develop simple troubleshooting guides, setup instructions, and event checklists.
Coordinate with approved vendors and service providers when directed.
Report recurring problems and opportunities to improve reliability or the customer experience.
Perform related duties consistent with the position’s training, responsibilities, and level of authority.
Customer Service Standard
Every person requesting assistance should feel that their concern is understood and someone capable is taking care of it.
The specialist is expected to make challenging situations feel manageable through a calm demeanor, clear communication, and dependable action. Customers should receive reassurance without having their concerns minimized or being promised an outcome that cannot be guaranteed.
Internal stress, blame, and unnecessary technical detail should remain behind the scenes. The specialist should communicate what the customer needs to know: what is being addressed, what happens next, any available alternative, and when another update can be expected.
Escalation Expectations
The specialist must recognize early when an issue requires additional support. Escalation is expected when:
Troubleshooting exceeds the specialist’s training, access, or authority.
An issue threatens daily operations or continuity.
Multiple users or important club services are affected.
A suspected security or privacy incident occurs.
Initial troubleshooting does not produce meaningful progress within a timeframe appropriate to the issue’s urgency.
Escalations should include the operational impact, observed symptoms, actions already taken, and any available workaround. The specialist remains responsible for communication and follow-through after requesting assistance.
The IT Director will establish escalation contacts, priorities, and event-specific procedures.
