Progression Opportunities Exist For The Right Person, Including

• Technical progression (advanced diagnostics, product expertise, specialist support).
• Leadership/management progression (coaching, planning, field leadership).

Key Responsibilities

What you’ll do

• Start your day from home, head to customer sites, and manage jobs through our field service system.
• Meet the customer, understand the issue, and keep them updated as you resolve the problem.
• Use a Windows laptop to review system logs, run checks, and record your work.
• Carry out basic connectivity and setup tasks (LAN connections, IP settings, accessing device interfaces). We teach this step-by-step.
• Complete preventative maintenance (cleaning, checks, basic adjustments) and replace modules/parts when needed.
• Test the equipment and clearly document what you’ve done before leaving.
• Use quieter time for structured learning and training modules.

Service levels & priority work

• You’ll work to agreed service levels (SLAs) that help keep customer sites running.
