  • Work closely with customers to resolve technical issues quickly and professionally.
  • Assist with system upgrades, software updates, and configuration changes.
  • Complete service reports, installation documentation, and technical records accurately.
  • Support technical demonstrations and occasional trade show or customer event activities.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to escalate recurring issues and provide field feedback.
  • Ensure all work is completed in line with health & safety and site compliance requirements.
  • Travel regularly across the UK to support customer sites as required.

  • Comfortable working independently and travelling regularly to customer sites.
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills.
  • Good working knowledge of IT systems and networking principles.
