About Residential Computing
Residential Computing supports broadband, reliable network connections throughout the residence halls and campus apartments, including wireless connectivity in dining facilities and many other common spaces. Our staff, primarily made up of Berkeley students, provide knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive technical support to our residential clients for their network connections, computing needs, and cable TV service.
Our customers include undergraduate and graduate students, family housing residents, live-in faculty, and conference guests. Our primary goal is to ensure that our clients can fully utilize network resources for their academic and personal needs through our provision of in-room Internet and wireless access, as well as technology resources in each unit's Academic Services Center (ASC). We are continually available to residents through timely phone, email, and in-person support to help resolve any technical issues that may arise.
We ensure that all computers connected to the network meet campus minimum security standards, and we continually work to educate all residents about bandwidth policy, the importance of using legal services to obtain digital media, and about smart and safe use of technical resources.
Who We Are
Residential Computing includes a large group of front-line customer support staff (Residential Computing Consultants) as well as teams of senior staff, who are responsible for developing and maintaining systems and applications, providing technology resources to residents, marketing and outreach, and for management and oversight of ResComp's programs and services.

Student Careers
Thank you for your interest in working for Residential Computing! ResComp is part of the larger Student Affairs Information Technologies (SAIT) department, and across the organization we have between 90 and 100 student staff working in a variety of technical and non-technical functions.
Our student job opportunities include front-line customer service for both students and professional staff, administrative support, software development, server and systems administration, technical training, and marketing and design. Positions range from entry-level to supervisory and/or technical, and while training is provided for all positions, we look for highly motivated candidates with some relevant experience who can learn and apply skills quickly.
At ResComp and SAIT, students hold positions with high levels of responsibility and perform mission-critical functions. There are many opportunities to advance within the organization and to work in leadership and supervisory roles.
While our work environment is professional (some cubicles are involved) and prepares our alumni for serious, Real World jobs after graduation, our student staff enjoy a relaxed, social, and supportive workplace. They earn competitive pay and can set their own hours to accommodate class schedules. And, there is often food and/or candy.
Hiring Timeline
Because many of our positions are staffed by students and we experience regular turnover, we have implemented an annual recruitment and hiring cycle that allows for new opportunities each year for both internal staff and those new to the organization:
- late December to early February: recruitment for lead and senior-level positions
- February through March: selection and hiring of lead and senior staff
- late February through March: advertising and recruitment for Residential Computing Consultant (RCC) position, which makes up the largest team of front-line support staff
- April through May: RCC selection and hiring; orientation and training for all staff
We continually work to provide a valuable and rewarding experience for all our student staff where they can develop professionally and build leadership skills that supplement their academic careers. In addition, we highly value and leverage our alumni connections to help our student staff build their professional network.
