Basingstoke
£30,000–£35,000 + Full Product Training
Are you an Electrical Engineer, Electronics Technician, Field Service Engineer or Installation Engineer looking to come off the road?Perhaps you're tired of long days travelling between sites, emergency call-outs and working in all weathers.
Maybe you'd like to stay hands-on technically, continue fault finding and solving engineering problems, but do it from a modern office where every day finishes on time.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
We're recruiting for a Technical Support Engineer to join one of the UK's leading manufacturers of automatic gates, traffic barriers, access control systems, automatic doors and entrance automation.
Please note: This is not an IT Helpdesk position. We're looking for engineers with an electrical, electronic, automation or electro-mechanical background.
The Role:
As a Technical Support Engineer, you'll become the first point of contact for installers, engineers and customers across the UK, helping them resolve technical issues and get the very best from the company's products.
Every day is different. One minute you'll be helping an engineer diagnose a fault remotely, the next you'll be advising on product selection, programming an automated gate system or identifying replacement components.
You'll receive comprehensive product training and work alongside an experienced technical team until you're confident across the full product range.
Typical Responsibilities
Providing first-line technical support via telephone and email
Diagnosing electrical and electronic faults
Supporting engineers with installation and commissioning
Assisting with programming and configuration
