Dear Kavita,
Please do consider the following suggestions:
- Identify the tasks and list them in columns for each vertical. Suppose you decide to freeze the roles for operations. Take each role in separate columns and list the tasks.
- Identify the amount of transactional and transformational tasks required to do.
- Identify the level of decision-making and approvals allowed in each role.
- List down all the training required to make a new candidate fully functional in each role.
- Define the duration within which the candidate would be ready to deliver.
- Identify the dimension of impact from each error made. Suppose a technical support - voice may make a mistake of taking down the customer's ID incorrectly. What impact would this have? How much of a business loss would it make? Define the rupee valuation of each mistake. You would get an approximate amount from the operation managers.
- Define the educational and professional qualifications required to function in each role.
- Distribute points to the dimension required. Suppose at a technical support level the decision-making would make an impact of $200 or $400. Whereas a decision made by a business development executive would have a business risk of $2000-$3000. Hence, the business development executive would be higher in terms of level, though they may get categorized in the same band.
Few of the titles along with the task list are shared below. Based on your exercise, you may be able to define it better for your organization.

Dear (Cite Contribution), Thank you so much for providing this information. Could you also suggest to me what designation I should give to the support team? We have installation members, a support team that provides client-side support and their team leaders, recovery personnel who collect AMC's, and supply and deliver products, as well as teleconsultants who solve clients' problems regarding software over the phone.
Thank you.

Dear Kavita,
Is your organization involved in IT Facility management? Here's a list of designations used in this sector:
1. Technical Support - The one who works live for initial troubleshooting.
2. Help Desk - The one who provides support via phone and manages the complaint logs.
3. Service Desk - The engineers who troubleshoot beyond technical support.
4. Facility Engineers - The ones responsible for deployment and maintenance of documents and machines. They work during the closure of a project, collect all the machines, and audit the assets.
5. Software Support Engineers - They troubleshoot software related to machines or services offered, such as Citrix or Lotus Notes.
6. Network Admins - They handle general network admin tasks, mostly off-location.
Here are some suggestions on how to implement them:
- You would need to redesign them to create levels. For example, Junior Technical Support for an entry-level employee who would work at the client site.
- Similarly, Junior Help Desk Executive for an entry-level employee in the telephone support role.
- Employees who travel to client sites for servicing machines beyond troubleshooting may be designated as Service Engineers or Hardware Engineers. You can add Trainee/Junior/Senior to create levels.
- For employees managing documents of each machine and working end-to-end for Facility management due to AMC-related work, designating them as Facility Engineers with Trainee/Junior/Senior levels would be appropriate.
Please review the job descriptions of the two roles discussed. It will provide more clarity on them.
JOB ID: Hardware Engineer
- JOB CODE: HE/01/01
- REPORTING TO: Helpdesk
- SCOPE: To offer services including computer hardware repairing and troubleshooting.
JOB ID: FACILITY ENGINEER
- REPORTING TO: Reports directly to the Helpdesk for complaint management, Senior facility (Technical Reporting), Project Manager (for overall purposes).
- SCOPE: To offer support for facility management.
Thank you for considering these suggestions.
