Project ManagementFull-time
Position Description
The Field Tech Champion is a field-embedded, bilingual role built for someone who sits at the intersection of people, process, and technology. This person is the boots-on-the-ground bridge between our field workforce and our payroll systems — providing hands-on technical support, training, and adoption guidance for our field-facing system(s) in both English and Spanish.
Roughly half of the time will be spent in the field delivering direct support and training; the other half is troubleshooting level one technical issues, gathering feedback, and partnering with the Product Owner to identify process improvements and system enhancements.
This role is required on-site in Midlothian, Virginia.
Your future duties and responsibilities
- Field-Based Technical Support
- Provide hands-on Tier 1 technical support to field teams, addressing common issues such as login, Microsoft 365 accounts, email, access, device configuration, and mobile device management for iOS and Android.
- Log, prioritize, and resolve Tier 1 and Tier 2 issues through the service desk ticketing system.
- Escalate complex problems to Tier 3 and work closely with the help desk team to ensure field employees have a clear, well-documented path to resolution.
- Field-Facing Systems: Adoption & Training
- Deliver hands-on training and adoption support for field-facing technology.
- Bring a user-first, field-first perspective to everything you do: your job is to make the use of technology in the field as streamlined and intuitive as possible.
- During rollout of the new Time Tracking and HRIS system, the focus is proactive training; post-rollout, the focus shifts to continuous adoption and system improvement.
- User Feedback & Continuous Improvement
- Serve as the primary ear on the ground for field user feedback.
- Gather informal insights about system usability, pain points, and opportunities for improvement through daily interactions with field teams.
- Collaborate with the Digital Enablement team to translate that feedback into actionable feature requests, process improvement recommendations, and backlog contributions.
- Training Material Input
- Provide feedback and insights to improve existing training documentation and materials.
- Contribute to and/or develop training content.
- Field Travel
- In close coordination with Field Operations Leadership, travel to field locations approximately 50% of the time to deliver in-person support and training.
- Must be comfortable working across a variety of job site environments.
What Success Looks Like
- Field users including Spanish speaking employees who feel supported, heard, and capable of using technology (including the Time tracking and self-serve HR systems) in the field correctly and efficiently.
- Every targeted field user receives role-appropriate training before or at go-live, and adoption barriers identified in the field are documented and escalated.
- A consistent feedback loop is operating between the Field and the Digital Enablement function with documented user insights contributing to rollout success initially, and backlog refinement and process improvements eventually.
- Level one support issues are being resolved in the field, with appropriate escalations to the help desk that are timely and well-documented.
- Training materials have been reviewed and informed by field-level feedback, with improvements documented and delivered.

- Strong appreciation of how ERPs, Time Keeping, or similar enterprise systems are used to improve field operations, with a user-first mindset focused on simplification and practical usability.
- Ability to gather, synthesize, and communicate user feedback clearly and constructively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
