The primary objective of the role is to provide exceptional customer service – you will be resolving the issues you can or escalating the issue to our 2nd line and 3rd line engineers.
At Redsquid our customers are too important to pass on an issue and walk away – whether you solve the issue or escalate it, you will remain the single point of contact with the customer, maintaining ownership of the original fault and acting as the main point of contact between the customer and Redsquid.
You will take pride in proactively providing timely updates and ensuring the fault is given the correct level of priority and attention.
This is a demanding support position, which calls for excellent customer service skills, the ability to build positive customer relationships, and to take pride in delivering high standards of customer care.
