• Technical resources for product solutions, RFP submissions, bids and proposals.
• Participate in trade shows, customer presentations, demonstrations.
• Provide technical training monthly/quarterly on request to the sales team, end-user customers and partners.
• Publish reports on solutions presented.
• Direct contact for our customers/dealers/service partners.
• Regional support of the installed digital signage.
• Technical resource for hardware/software issues.
• Escalate and log all known issues to the web-based service cloud.
• Troubleshooting issues related to product group solutions, software and customer issues.
• Field support and training.

To join our team:

• Post-Secondary education in IT & Computers or Computer Science preferred.
• 3-5 years of experience as technical trainer preferred.
• 3-5 years of technical support experience with IT products and solutions preferred.
• Motivated with a positive attitude and excellent time management skills.
• Excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office applications and some technical diagnosis skill as an asset.
• Ability to manage service quality issues when resolutions are not in place.

The salary for this role is $76k. Your final compensation will reflect your years of experience and beyond the numbers, we’re proud to offer a holistic package that includes:

• Generous time off: Start with 3 weeks of vacation.
• Comprehensive benefits package: Includes medical, dental, vision and a health spending account.
• Retirement support: Company-sponsored RRSP matching program to help build your financial future.
• Award-winning culture: Proud to be one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 8 years running — now a Platinum Club member.
