We’re a forward‑thinking company, always looking for employees who bring fresh perspectives and new ideas to our space. While we’re known for our expertise in industrial analytics, we’re also a team that values diversity, inclusivity, and collaboration.

GENERAL SUMMARY

We are looking for a Software Support Specialist based in the Philippines. Full training on dataPARC software will be provided, and the selected candidate will be expected to develop deep expertise in dataPARC software, becoming a highly proficient resource for customers and internal teams alike. We are looking for candidates with strong technical foundations rather than prior historian experience.
