• Providing ongoing support, troubleshooting, and maintenance of installed systems.


• Collaborating with sales teams to assess project requirements, timescales, and solution costs.


• Researching and evaluating emerging technologies to enhance our solution offering.


• Driving continuous improvement through customer feedback and innovation.

About You:

We\'re looking for a technically minded and customer-focused individual who enjoys solving problems and working with innovative technologies.

You'll ideally have:

• A full, clean UK driving licence and willingness to travel.

• Experience of software development and system integration.


• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.


• Strong communication and customer-facing abilities.


• The confidence to work independently and manage projects from concept to delivery.

• A passion for finding practical solutions to complex customer challenges.
