You're the one who fixes what everyone else escalated.

If you get a quiet kick out of cracking the case nobody else could, this is your seat. You'll be the technical backstop for our UK Support team — deep in the hard problems, working hand-in-hand with development, and levelling up the techs around you. We build the software 77 countries run their hire businesses on, and we've done it since 1982.

• Diagnose and resolve the complex issues Tier 1 can't crack
• Be the escalation point the team trusts — fast and thorough
• Work with development to reproduce and kill defects for good
• Mentor Tier 1, grow the knowledge base and stay ahead of stability issues

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years in software/technical support, at Tier 2 or above
• Genuinely strong troubleshooting across operating systems and applications
• Hands-on SQL, plus servers and on-premises software experience
• A related degree or equivalent hands‑on experience
• Bonus points: rental‑industry experience or time in our Syrinx platform

What's in it for you:

• A real technical career path, and a global support org (UK, US, Australia) to grow across
• Hybrid working, pension and a festive break on top of your holiday
• After probation: a KPI-linked quarterly bonus, Bupa Dental Care, Pure Gym membership, Cycle to Work, life assurance and an Employee Assistance Programme
• A team that lives its EPIC values — Empowering, Principled, Innovative, Caring

Benefits:

• Dental scheme
• Discounted gym memberships
• Pension scheme
• Life assurance
• Cycle2work scheme
