Client

A global leader in advanced technology solutions. Curo are partnering with a global company that delivers their B2B customers cutting‑edge technology. Their automated test and assurance solutions accelerate technology development in the lab and ensure new products and services perform in the real world. They design, manufacture and supply advanced satellite navigation test and simulation systems, many of which comprise radio frequency signal generators plus computer systems running complex application software; all designed in‑house. These systems are sold worldwide to high‑profile organisations and inevitably there are occasional problems experienced by the users—component failures, software bugs, documentation issues or the customer may simply need guidance and/or advice.

Candidate

You will be a motivated leader with a background in technical support or engineering, ideally with exposure to GNSS systems (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, etc.). You'll have experience managing or supervising multi‑national teams, excellent communication skills, and a flexible, pragmatic approach to problem‑solving.

Duties

• Lead, manage and develop the EMEA Technical Support Engineers.
• Set goals, monitor performance and focus on team development.
• Coordinate with other global support teams and act as point of contact for escalations.
• Ensure KPI targets are met and customer satisfaction is maintained.
• Oversee ISO9001 compliance and drive process improvements.
• Manage resource levels, lab environment, spare stock and assets.
• Provide input into reports, KPI reviews and budget requirements.
• Represent the support function in roadmap reviews and customer visits.
• Collaborate with professional services and global support managers to align processes.

Requirements

• Qualification in a relevant Engineering discipline.
• Good understanding of GNSS systems (SBAS, Beidou, IRNSS, GPS, Galileo, Glonass).
• Experience managing or supervising technical teams, ideally across multiple countries.
• Excellent English communication (written & verbal).
• Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making skills under pressure.
• Ability to prioritise effectively and manage multiple tasks.
• Willingness to travel internationally (up to 10%).
