Customer & Technical Advisor
Permanent
4 /4 shift pattern (other work patterns are available)
We’re recruiting on behalf of a growing, forward-thinking Internet Service Provider who are looking to bring in a Technology Specialist to join their close-knit team.
This is a hands-on, varied role providing support to customers along every step of their customer journey from sales to technical support, as well as general customer-facing and non-customer-facing administration to aid order progression and service delivery, making it ideal for someone who enjoys being the go-to person in a small team environment. You’ll be supporting customers and field engineers across multiple channels, including telephone, live chat and email whist also helping keep the office running smoothly day-to-day.
Job overview
You’ll be responsible for providing support to customers placing an order for services, extensive technical support and general operational support across the business, including:
Sales and Order Support
* Understand and explain varying service provisions, installation types, and product offerings clearly and accurately.
* Support customers through the ordering process, ensuring expectations are set correctly around lead times, installation requirements, and service capabilities.
* Liaise with internal teams and suppliers to ensure orders progress smoothly from sale to activation.
* Identify customer needs and recommend appropriate products or solutions without a hard-sell approach.
Technical Support
* Troubleshooting & Diagnostics: Identify, analyse, and resolve internet connectivity issues, including slow speeds, intermittent connections, and full service outages.
* Equipment Support: Guide customers through the setup, configuration, and maintenance of routers, modems, Wi‑Fi extenders, and related equipment, including firmware updates and security settings.
* Network Assistance: Provide clear, step‑by‑step guidance for configuring IP addressing, DNS, DHCP, and wireless networks to ensure optimal performance and security.
* Escalation Management: Recognise complex or persistent issues requiring advanced investigation and escalate appropriately to senior engineers, network teams, or field technicians.
* Customer Communication: Communicate clearly, patiently, and empathetically with customers of all technical abilities, keeping them informed throughout fault resolution.
* Documentation: Maintain accurate records of customer interactions, diagnostics, actions taken, and outcomes within CRM and ticketing systems.
* Service Education: Proactively advise customers on best practices to prevent future issues and maximise their service experience.
Office & Team Support
* Support general office and administrative operations.
* Assist colleagues across departments as required.
* Contribute to maintaining efficient, well-organised day-to-day business operations.
* Act as a flexible and reliable team member within a small, collaborative environment.
Desirable skills and experience:
* Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and Wi‑Fi technologies.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured approach to troubleshooting.
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts in plain language.
* Ability to work calmly under pressure, manage multiple cases simultaneously, and meet service‑level expectations.
* Familiarity with ISP environments, remote diagnostic tools, and CRM/ticketing systems is advantageous.
* Previous experience in a technical support, service desk, or ISP-related role is desirable, though strong technical aptitude and willingness to learn are equally valued
