Engineering Service Coordinator

Peterborough

£26,000 Benefits include private health, 26 days holiday (+8 bank holidays), pension etc.

Working hours are 9-5:30, full time on site.

The company

This is a customer facing role based in Peterborough working for this UK based altnet. These are a well-funded FTTP ISP that are looking to keep diversifying their markets, with both UK and International aspirations.

The Role

In a nutshell, you’ll be the first point of contact for any customers who get in contact if they’re experiencing any Wi-Fi issues. You’ll run through basic troubleshooting questions with them and pass the information across to the field engineering team whilst also organising the engineer’s diaries to ensure that they can get from one job to another with no issue.

Because you’ll be liaising with both external customers and internal colleagues, the ability to manage expectations, spin multiple plates at once, and have clear communication throughout is key.
 

Ideally, we’re looking for someone with an admin support background, ideally from telecoms, but we’re open to other industries given that you’re willing to learn anything you don’t quite know. Having a good attitude (willing to learn anything you don’t know) and customer service skills are essential for this role. Likewise, you’ll need to be relatively tech savvy and have the ability to pick up any technologies that you may not have been hands on with before.

This is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door within a tech company that is heading in the right direction. Maybe you have aspirations within project coordination, network support, or anything else.

Next steps…

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, you have 3 options
 

• Call Joe White at CRG TEC to find out more. We are really open about the role and the opportunity so if you need to find out more before committing. No problem!
• Drop Joe a private message on LinkedIn before applying and she will respond to any queries you have.
• If you are happy with what you have read, then attach a copy of your CV to this advert and Joe White will give you a call to discuss further or get back to you if you don’t quite hit the mark.

We look forward to hearing from you
