Job description

Why do we have this role?

Resonate’s vision is to create a truly connected rail network, using our deep technology expertise and rail industry experience to deliver game-changing solutions that meet transport challenges across the UK and beyond. We are creating, building, implementing, and supporting digital platforms that deliver operational management and decision support to improve the quality of customer journeys across the rail network.

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about modern IT practices and technologies, to take our products into service and then provide the quality of support that, together with great design and development, will see our systems used and loved by our customers. Capable of understanding complex technical implementations and low-level concepts, you will be able to quickly build relationships and communicate effectively with our customers, and our own technical staff.

You do not need a background in rail - experience in systems that provide essential business services will be an advantage.

What are the key objectives?

1. Support and maintain our traffic management, simulation and training systems, and associated equipment in accordance with documented designs
2. Provide remote support, attending site as required, to support commissioning activities or to facilitate incident resolution
3. Support and maintain monitoring solutions for our environments and customer applications
4. Work within specified service level agreements for response and resolution times
5. Support innovation and advise on the implementation of new technologies
6. Engage with internal teams around technical solutions and requirements, and implementation of best practices
7. Interact with internal subject matter experts on incidents and service requests that require an advanced level of technical input
8. Able to interpret and understand safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions and procedural manuals
9. Clearly document issues, requests, and solutions within the ITSM system
10. Contribute to and maintain the internal knowledge base
11. Act as a mentor to develop the knowledge and experience of other technical colleagues
12. Identify process and other improvements within the directorate and raise them through the appropriate channels

This is a remote, home-based role - it may require occasional attendance at client premises for site-based activities. The ability to reach and attend one of our three offices (Derby, Milton Keynes, or London), for training, product familiarisation, and support activities as required would be an advantage.

Support issues and activities rarely fit neatly into regular hours; therefore, our support team operates a “4 on, 4 off” shift system basis to provide 24/7, year-round coverage for our clients. You will work on a shift system with each working period consisting of four shifts of 12 hours, followed by a break of four shifts. We are looking for night shift workers to work 6pm – 6am.

• Home based with travel to Resonate and client sites as required
• Working pattern of 4 on, 4 off, 12-hour days
• For training and familiarisation, working pattern to start with standard office hours (5 day week) for approx. 6-8 weeks (flexible, depending on candidate and team readiness)
• 20 shifts leave per annum
• Pension plan through Aviva with matched contributions from 5%-8%
• Private healthcare for you and immediate dependents, currently with Bupa on a medical history disregarded basis
• Group Life Assurance cover (currently 6x salary)
• Group Income Protection cover (in the event of incapacity currently provides 50% salary plus a 10% pension contribution after 52 weeks)
