  • Conduct virtual training sessions for field technicians and customer support staff.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product development teams to provide feedback on product performance and potential improvements.
  • Manage service requests and ensure timely resolution of technical issues.
  • Maintain accurate records of service interactions, resolutions, and equipment history.
  • Stay current with product updates, technical advancements, and industry best practices.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of remote support processes and tools.

Qualifications:
  • Technical degree or certification in a relevant field (e.g., Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Industrial Automation).
  • Minimum of 5-8 years of experience in field service, technical support, or a similar role, with a strong focus on industrial equipment.
  • Proficiency in diagnosing and repairing complex electromechanical systems.
  • Experience with PLCs, VFDs, and industrial control systems is highly desirable.
  • Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical information clearly and concisely.
  • Experience with remote diagnostic tools and software.
  • Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in a remote setting.
  • Customer-focused mindset with a commitment to providing excellent service.
