This is a desk-based technical support role that can be performed remotely or from our office, depending on your preference. You’ll primarily provide support via phone and email. While there may be occasional travel for special projects such as training, or trade shows, this is not a field service position.

• Support field operations remotely for repairs or maintenance.
• Assist with warranty claim processing, technical documentation, and troubleshooting records.
• Collaborate with Engineering and R&D teams on product testing, prototyping, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide technical support for trade shows, marketing initiatives, and showroom/display setup as needed.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including manuals, installation guides, and training materials.
• Promote and adhere to all health and safety policies, fostering a culture of safety in every task.

What You Bring To The Role

• Languages: Full professional fluency in French and English (spoken and written).
• Education: Diploma in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering Technology, or equivalent technical background.
• Experience: Practical experience in field service, technical support, or customer service.

Skills And Knowledge

• Strong understanding of electrical systems, control panels, PLCs, and relay logic.
• Mechanical aptitude for installation and troubleshooting.
• Excellent communication and customer service abilities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and ability to learn technical software quickly.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a remote environment.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives.
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage.
• Generous vacation and paid time off.
• Company-supported retirement savings plan.
• Career development and continuous learning opportunities.
• Collaborative culture where innovation and new ideas are valued.
