Job description

RTM Cloud is a fast-growing Australian SaaS/IoT company delivering real-time monitoring solutions across the aged care, healthcare, construction, energy, and security sectors. We provide integrated tech (software and IoT hardware) that gives our clients live visibility and control in critical environments.

With our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, we are poised to become one of the leading service and support providers across all states and territories throughout Australia. As we continue to grow, we are seeking talented individuals who share our passion for delivering exceptional service and who are eager to contribute to our success. We are based in Clontarf, Brisbane, with clients around Australia and New Zealand and team based in Victoria.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for an experienced Technical Service Manager to lead and support our national field technician team, based out of Melbourne, VIC.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be responsible for scheduling, field performance, SLA compliance, and team development, while acting as the key link between our on-road teams and internal stakeholders. The role includes periodic interstate travel to QLD, NSW, SA and WA covering field operations and client sites. You'll also take part in a rostered on-call week (rotating monthly with the technician team) and act as the final escalation point for critical after-hours issues - a paid, separately compensated component of the role.

You'll report directly to our Chief Operations Officer and play a critical role in how we deliver for our clients every day.

Whether you're a senior technician ready to take the next step into leadership, or you're already managing a service team in the security or technology space, we want to hear from you.
